What’s New in ABC 2nd Edition?


Answers Bible Curriculum has been expanded and updated! We’ve made lots of changes in response to feedback we received from teachers and students. We’re excited to unveil the new ABC 2nd Edition! Below are some of the great new features you’ll find.


Expanded and Simplified

primary take home sheet
  • Students will take a chronological tour through the Bible in four years instead of three. We’ve added more engaging lessons in both the Old and New Testaments. The entire curriculum is now 200 lessons!
  • Instead of following the outdated quarter system, we now number our lessons from 1 to 200, so you can easily start or pause anytime without missing anything. And it makes it easier to use for non-Sunday school settings.
  • The lessons are packaged in 20 Units of 10 for flexible scheduling, with the tenth lesson being a review.
  • ABC now features six age groups: Pre-K–1, Grades 2–3, Grades 4–5, Middle School, High School, and Adult.
  • ABC 2nd Edition is available in both the English Standard Version and the familiar King James Version of the Bible. The ESV is an essentially literal translation of the Scriptures that is easier for children to understand.
  • Based on customer feedback, we’ve simplified the younger-grade lessons to make them more age-appropriate without compromising the depth of teaching that ABC has become known for.

More Resources to Help You Teach!

  • Many lessons are enhanced with an optional, age-appropriate video clip from Answers in Genesis resources.

Every Teacher Kit (Grades 2 to Middle School) includes digital downloads of an MP3, lyrics video, and a split-screen hand-motions/lyrics video. CDs of the songs are available for purchase to give to students and families.
  • Grades Pre-K–1 will learn new memory verse songs and lesson songs with original music written for their age level.
