Traditional Logic I
An Introduction to Formal Logic
A logic course for all ages, but designed for use as young as 7th grade, Traditional Logic is an in-depth study of the classical syllogism. Along with a basic understanding of the Christian theory of knowledge, the text presents the four kinds of logical statements, the four ways propositions can be opposite, the three ways in which they can be equivalent, and the seven rules for the validity of syllogisms.
This comprehensive but easy-to-use course includes both text and key and can be used as either a one-semester or a one-year course.

Additional Resources:
Consider the Handbook of Christian Apologetics and Socrates Meets Jesus by Peter Kreeft as additional resources for Traditional Logic. The Handbook provides logical answers to modern skeptical arguments about Christianity. Socrates Meets Jesus explores how Socrates would interrogate modern thinkers about religious truths. Both of these titles give your logic students the chance to apply their logic lessons to real modern arguments.
