  • Expressing belief

Description

In this unit pupils will explore the idea that stories in religious and non-religious traditions often have a deeper meaning beyond the simple narrative. They will examine stories from Christianity, Islam and Humanism and act as interpreters to find these hidden meanings.

Stories have played a central role in human understanding of the world. This unit is placed here to begin to sow seeds that stories can be interpreted in different ways by different people. It does this by carefully selecting stories that will deepen pupils’ understanding of Christianity and Islam, and their understanding that non-religious traditions, such as humanism, also have stories to explain their worldviews.

  1. Stories and deeper meanings
  2. The story of the Lost Son
  3. The Parable of the Lost Son: hidden meanings
  4. Muslim stories: the Crying Camel
