Worldview at the Abbey is a Christian gap year program associated with Worldview Academy summer camps. Bill Jack, Jeff Baldwin, August Huckabee, and Hannah Hall founded the Abbey in 2014, and the curriculum centers around a Socratic teaching of classical texts in general education classes such as literature, political science, history, and economics, as well as teaching rhetoric, and apologetics from a Christian worldview. Along with classroom teaching, students engage in community service and leadership initiatives throughout the year to solidify the teaching in the classroom.
Soon, Rhetoric students at the Abbey will write their rough drafts of their mystery stories. They'll read several masters of the genre—Raymond Chandler, G.K. Chesterton, Agatha Christie and Edgar Allan Poe—and of course they're already familiar with the most popular detective of all time, Sherlock Holmes.
