Synopsis:

Logic is the art of reasoning well—of learning to think God's thoughts after Him. In this book, directed toward junior-high students, Douglas Wilson and James Nance lay the proper foundation of reasoning in the truth of God, and go on to train students in the crucial skills of defining terms, recognizing basic types of statements, arguing with syllogisms, arguing in ordinary language, and identifying informal fallacies.

This text, together with Intermediate Logic by James Nance, provides students with a rigorous course in logic that will help them excel in every other subject they will study, from math and science to rhetoric and the humanities. Extensively revised and updated, with additional review questions and exercises for each unit, this book is an essential part of every Christian school or home school curriculum.

About the Author: James B. Nance has taught at Logos School since 1990, where he currently teaches logic, rhetoric, calculus, physics, and Christian doctrine. He is also the author of Intermediate Logic for Christian and Home Schools. James and his wife Giselle have four children.

Douglas J. Wilson holds an M.A. in philosophy and is pastor of Christ Church in Moscow, Idaho, board member of Logos School, and editor of Credenda/Agenda magazine. He is the author of several books on classical Christian education, including Recovering the Lost Tools of Learning, Repairing the Ruins: The Classical and Christian Challenge to Education (editor), The Paideia of God and Other Essays on Education, and The Case for Classical Christian Education. He and his wife Nancy have three children and nine grandchildren.
