This 30-slide PowerPoint has been carefully designed with both the teacher and the student in mind. It is aesthetically pleasing, informative without being too “wordy,” and arranged so that there is an organic flow to the presentation. Also of importance, it is based on an online chapter titled, “What is Critical Thinking?” on OSU’s website that is available to anyone. For this reason, the reading can be assigned in advance so that the students can read about the subject before the presentation. Other websites were also used in a supplementary manner to build this PowerPoint. Here are a few topics that are covered: What is Critical Thinking? What is Critical Thinking not? Attitudes That Are Obstacles to Critical Thinking 7 Thinking Habits That Characterize Critical Thinking Examples of Critical Thinking Questions to Encourage Critical Thinking

This 28-slide PPTX is carefully designed to introduce both lay persons (ecclesial settings) and students to a biblical worldview. It was first delivered in an adult Sunday School class in a local church but was also designed with the teacher and student in mind (secondary and postsecondary). The following questions are addressed throughout: What is a biblical worldview? What have influential Christian thinkers said about a biblical worldview (Robert Nash, Nancy Pearcey, C.S. Lewis, John Frame, etc.)? What is presuppositional thinking and how is it related to worldview thinking? How does one cultivate a biblical worldview? What are some helpful books on the topic? Note: This is written from an evangelical viewpoint, meaning that the Bible is assumed to be inspired by God in its original manuscripts (doctrine of inspiration) and therefore inerrant.

This 35-slide PowerPoint presentation was originally used in a university classroom. It has been expanded to take the guesswork out of teaching the logical problem of evil. This presentation highlights the logical nature of the problem, which religions face this issue based upon their conception of God, and why the following three propositions are considered incompatible: (1) God is omnipotent (all-powerful), (2) God is wholly good, and (3) Evil exists. This presentation explains “theodicy” and briefly discusses a few examples toward the end (Free Will Defense, Soul-Making Argument, Pain is a Megaphone). The following thinkers are mentioned: J.L. Mackie, Peter Inwagen, Gottfried Leibniz, C.S. Lewis, and John Hick.

You can also find free versions in PDF format online. James’ essay is a classic in the Philosophy of Religion, and is usually read in contrast to W.K. Clifford’s view on faith and evidence.

Lewis’ chapter, “Friendship” which is located in his book, The Four Loves. The book is not necessarily an easy read for some, but it is full of wisdom and insight, and is a great read for students, especially if a teacher is focusing on friendship as a theme and possibly including Aristotle and Cicero’s work on friendship as well. This presentation is divided into three main sections: Who was C.S. Lewis? A Brief Overview of The Four Loves (for context) A detailed look at Lewis’ major insights about Friendship

While there are 24 slides total, nine are blank and serve as dividers. Here is the Table of Contents: Trolley Carts: The Lever Trolley Carts: A Large Man The Drowning Child Moral Obligation Moral Guilt Is Lying Morally Permissible?

In some cases, short explanations are given that provide the content.
