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.

Read MoreHas any public-school student ever asked his literature teacher the following question, “Why don’t we study the greatest piece of literature in Western Civilization in our literature class?”
Nor has a student dared ask her history teacher, “Why do we not read the book that has had the most revolutionary impact on civilization?”
Read More“While evangelizing, my students were asked the question, “if there were not evil in the world, would we really appreciate the goodness?” The person argued that evil is necessary and beneficial to recognize the worth of goodness. To their credit, if you imagine a world without evil, it would seem difficult to see the goodness – because you would be swimming in it.

On the contrary, goodness can and does exist without evil.”
