Details
Help your student engage the great ideas, conflicts, and questions that shaped Western civilization
As students grow intellectually, they need more than information—they need wisdom.
The ideas students encounter during the middle ages, Renaissance, and Reformation still shape culture, politics, theology, and education today. The question is whether students will learn to engage those ideas thoughtfully through the lens of Scripture.
The Omnibus II Primary Self-Paced Course helps students explore influential Great Books while developing biblical discernment, historical understanding, and critical thinking skills rooted in a classical Christian worldview.
Through guided instruction, interactive learning, and rich discussion, students learn how faith, philosophy, literature, and history connect—and why those connections matter.

✔ No grading required
✔ Fully self-paced

Explore the Ideas That Shaped the Modern World
The medieval and Renaissance eras were filled with profound questions:
- What is truth?
- What is justice?
- What makes a good society?
- How should Christians engage culture?
- What happens when truth is abandoned?
This course helps students understand how theology, philosophy, literature, and historical events shaped Western civilization—and continue to influence culture today.
Students engage influential works connected to:
- the Middle Ages
- the Renaissance
- the Reformation
- church history
- political philosophy
- worldview development
Rather than memorizing isolated facts, students begin to see how ideas shape generations.
A Classical Christian Great Books Education
Omnibus integrates:
- history
- theology
- literature
into one unified humanities course designed to help students understand the unity of all knowledge.
Students engage primary historical and literary works while learning how to evaluate every idea through the truth of Scripture.
This classical Christian approach helps students:
- develop wisdom and discernment
- strengthen worldview understanding
- improve analytical thinking
- prepare for college-level discussion and writing
- engage difficult ideas thoughtfully and biblically
Omnibus is designed not merely to educate students academically, but to form thoughtful Christians prepared to engage the world faithfully.
Study Influential Works from the Medieval & Renaissance World
Students engage significant works such as:
- Confessions by Augustine
- The City of God
- Beowulf
- The Song of Roland
- The Divine Comedy
- Canterbury Tales

and more.
These works help students wrestle with:

Extend the Learning Beyond the Screen
Your student will also need these resources to complete the course:
Omnibus II - Student Text
The student text covers early church fathers through the Reformation, teaching with the emphasis on ideas, not simply information.
The text includes two separate but compatible courses, the Primary books course and the Secondary books course. Primary books tend to be closely tied to the time period and include more primary source materials. Secondary books are, at times, lighter reading. Primary is scheduled for five days per week. Secondary for three days per week.
This book includes a daily schedule and will make teaching and interacting with the greatest works of Western Civilization both enjoyable and profitable. Students will also apply and further develop their skills in composition, logic, and aesthetics. Students completing all six years of Omnibus will have carefully studied every book of the Bible, too.
Omnibus II - Self-Paced Course Kit
This kit contains all the books your student will read while completing this course.
~$190.00
These additions help students engage more deeply with the people, places, and events they study.

IT'S AMAZING!!!

We just had the opportunity to try the new platform for Self-Paced. IT'S AMAZING!!! I've made my kids print off every worksheet and quiz in the past so we could review them together. This resulted in many tears each time a child forgot and we would get upset because we couldn't help them when they got a bad grade on something so they could understand what went wrong. I am SO HAPPY to see that I can now access their results in detail!! And my printer will be happy to not be printing several tests and worksheets and quizzes for 3 kids each week! Thank you!
Thanks for being a beacon of truth in this world!

Thanks for the great coursework in the Omnibus curriculum! I am a grown-up and I am taking these courses myself and they have been so inspiring to me. I have integrated a lot of materials into the worldview lessons I've been teaching in my church's youth group. Both my kids are taking Omnibus SP courses even though they are not homeschooled but go to a christian school. Omnibus and the Elementary level Bible and History courses are great additions to their school curriculum! Thanks for being a beacon of truth in this world!
I LOVE Veritas Press!
