Elevate Your High School Bible Class with Summit’s Understanding the Times Series 

The Understanding the Times Series comprehensively covers the biblical worldview, the Great Commission, understanding competing worldviews, and how to engage today’s culture and defend the faith with sound biblical theology and powerful apologetics. The Understanding the Times Series invites students to become informed disciples and does not shy away from difficult subjects. It assists teachers in creating an environment where biblical teaching and lively discussion equips students to influence their generation for Christ.

Each year includes numerous individual and group activities as well as supplemental videos from worldview experts. The Understanding the Times Series builds upon Summit’s elementary and middle school curriculum series—Building on the Rock and Walking in Truth—to deepen students’ knowledge of the biblical worldview and their ability to engage in further comparative worldview studies.

What can you expect from this transformative series?

  • An easy-to-read textbook that captivates and informs
  • Streamlined teacher resources for seamless integration
  • Engaging video and presentation components to enhance learning
  • Stimulating class discussions that spark intellectual curiosity and spiritual growth

  • Worldviews III – Fall 2026
