Grammar Catechisms: Philosophical, Theological, and Historical Foundations

Grammar Catechisms: Philosophical, Theological, and Historical Foundations is the first publication of The Logos Curriculum. The three catechisms constitute a grammatical formulation of learning to be committed to memory from Kindergarten through 4th grade. It can also serve anyone seeking to learn the grammar of the three foundations at any age. The included Core of History and Timeline will be further developed in A Critical Commentary of World History—included in the curriculum for the dialectic (5-8 grades) and rhetoric (9-12 grades) levels of learning. In addition, grammar-level clusters of bible verses and Psalms for singing are given for memorization.

ON THE LOGOS CURRICULUM:

The Logos Curriculum builds upon the distinctives of The Logos Foundation in seeking to overcome the intellectual challenges of our time. Answering the perennial questions in epistemology, metaphysics, ethics, and the humanities requires that we build upon the cumulative insight attained in creation (general revelation as philosophical foundation), Scripture (special revelation as theological foundation), and providence (Church history as historical foundation). Laying foundation demands that the foundational pieces be secure, resting on what is clear—knowledge that is unshakable. A curriculum commensurable to the task of building from foundation to fullness must be: 1) Presuppositional—focusing on the more basic to address the less basic—from epistemology to metaphysics to ethics; and from philosophical to theological to historical foundation. 2) Systematic—a coherent body of ideas arranged in logical order to provide a framework of interpretation regarding the basic things about God and man, and good and evil. It enables understanding of human nature expressed in worldviews and cultures throughout history. 3) Built upon the Trivium—based on the student’s intellectual readiness to progress from grammar (memorized factual knowledge) to dialectic (reasoned understanding with justification) to rhetoric (wisdom applied with social virtuosity). And 4) Interdisciplinary—the foundational truths regarding God and man, and good and evil are applied to all the disciplines within the humanities (philosophy, theology, history, literature, the arts, and music) with the goal of an integrated way of life leading to fullness in the knowledge of God. The Logos Curriculum seeks for a city with foundations whose architect and builder is God.

And the nations of those who are saved shall walk in its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor into it. —REVELATION 21:24
