The Curriculum
The Why Believe? curriculum is composed of a two-volume textbook set along with 60 short-form videos produced by the award-winning Augustine Institute Studios.
Today's Catholic high-school students daily confront the implicit claim that our secular culture provides fully for human happiness. Why Believe? responds directly to that claim by a compelling argument that faith in Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Son of God, is the only adequate answer to the human heart's desire for happiness. That argument unfolds over the 30 chapters of the two-volume textbook and is supplemented by two short-form videos per chapter. A significant feature of the Why Believe? textbooks is their beauty. Throughout the two volumes are dozens of high-quality photographic reproductions of significant artistic works. One of the series of videos provided on formed.org/whybelieve consists of commentaries on some of those artistic works. Teachers use the images in the text as the basis for their own expositions of the beauty of Catholic culture. The Why Believe? textbooks also include numerous discussions of significant works of literature (e.g. The Lord of the Rings, Macbeth, Pride & Prejudice), compelling passages from Sacred Scripture (e.g., the Parable of the Prodigal Son and the Bread of Life Discourse from John 6), and the lives of Catholic witnesses and saints (e.g. St. Dismas, St. Polycarp, St. Augustine, Caryll Houselander, Fr. Walter Ciszek).
