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.

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?

This 25-slide presentation was created and used in a University classroom. Leo Tolstoy, most famous for his realistic fiction (e.g., Anna Karenina and War and Peace), wrote an autobiography of sorts reflecting upon a horrible existential crisis that he encountered around the age of 50. He wants to find meaning, and neither his family nor his “art” (writing) seem to have any purpose. This is truly a dark time, and when he looks for answers in the “field of experimental science” and “speculative philosophy,” he comes up short. This presentation was created in conjunction with the following link which can be downloaded as a PDF (click here to be redirected). This presentation (Part 1) goes with pages 1-12 of the reading, and covers the first half of his experience: his darkest hour and his attempt to try and resist the temptation to commit suicide. In Part 2 (also available for purchase in the store), Tolstoy’s solution will be discussed.

This 26-slide presentation was created and used in a University classroom.
