HEROES OF THE FAITH
COURSE DESCRIPTION
The Liberty University Online Academy’s 7th grade Bible course, Heroes of the Faith,
walks students through the study of Christian martyrs and heroes who have sacrificed,
some even their lives, for the cause of Christ. Throughout the course, there are
missionary highlights and stories behind Christian hymns and songs. This Bible course
also encourages and teaches students the importance of daily Bible reading and Scripture
memory. Students will explore a wide range of heroes which include: Gideon, Samuel,
Stephen, Paul, Clement of Rome, John Wycliffe, Martin Luther, Matthew Henry, David
Brainerd, William Carey, Florence Nightingale, Mary Slessor, C.S. Lewis, Jim and
Elisabeth Elliot, and Billy Graham.
RATIONALE
Heroes of the Faith offers students an examination of the lives of Christian faith heroes
from the Old Testament up through today. This course also includes Scripture reading.
American president Theodore Roosevelt once said, “A thorough understanding of the
Bible is better than a college education.” What better way to understand the Bible than to
read it! Student understanding of Christian heritage is further enhanced by the study of
missionaries and the stories behind some famous hymns and songs.
