Organized into six units. Unit one is based on a study of Daniel l 1-4 and focuses on the question "Why should a Christian study pagan literature?"

Here is Cyndy's response: "I believe God was able to use Daniel in Nebuchandnezzar's life because of two things. 1) Daniel had an unshakable commitment to obeying God. He knew the Scriptures and was determined to remain faithful to their teachings. He feared God more than any man. 2) Daniel was also faithful in his Babylonian studies - the language, literature, and customs of that culture as well. Daniel excelled in his studies. He was able to speak clearly to Nebuchadnezzar about the God of Heaven in terms that Nebuchadnezzar understood. When Nebuchadnezzar looked at Daniel he saw a young man of integrity and diligence. He knew that Daniel could be trusted. Similarly, Paul was able to stand before the Greek philosophers at Mars Hill in Athens and speak clearly to the Greeks about the One True God in terms that they understood. My challenge to home schooled teens is this: 'How are you preparing yourself to speak to your culture about the Gospel?"

Unit two is a review of Genesis 1-11
Unit three focuses on The Epic of Gilgamesh and analyzes what Babylonian religion taught about creation and the nature of God
Unit four is a six-week, in depth study of Homer's Odyssey, with an emphasis on the Greek notion of virtue, excellence, and the hero.
Unit five is a six-week study of Sophocles 'great tragic trilogy', Oedipus Rex, Oedipus at Colonnus, and Antigone.
Unit six is a four-week study of the modern French playwright Anouilh's retelling of Antigone with a focus on how one's world view affects one's notions of the heroic and the tragic
