| Underdevelops the Bible as an economics text |
Vacillates on its claim that the Bible is "not … an economics text" | |
| Neither asks Scripture specialized questions only economists would conceive. | ||
| Neither gives detailed Biblical answers on property, money, taxes. | ||
| Neither tells trinitarian Christocentric premises of free-market principles. | ||
| Neither sees anti-trinitarian non-Christocentrism in failed unfree-market policies. | ||
| Neither links such different economic effects to their rival Christologies. | ||
| Neither frames these points into short, stark nexuses. | ||
| Neither deeply desecularizes its subject matter or pedagogy. | ||
| Neither "brings into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ." | ||
| Neither meets this full potential as a compelling alternative to secular texts. | ||
| Neither maximizes student discernment of truth from error in research. | ||
| Neither grows Christian teachers' exercise of a renewed mind. | ||
| Neither ties closely enough to U.S. History and American Government. | ||
| Teacher Guide is separate from student text. |
Teacher wraparound is easier to use. | |
