6 lessons

Threads

  • Nature of religion and belief

Description

In this unit pupils will examine the question of evil. They will look at various ways in which Christians have answered this question such as the existence of the devil, free will and the story of Job.

This unit builds on work in year 7 on the nature of belief by focussing on how Christians view the nature of God and also the first unit of year 8 looking at human nature. It introduces terminology that will be beneficial at KS4, such as omnipotence and beneficence and will help prepare pupils for the year 9 unit on religious experience which also requires analysis of whether theology contrasts with lived experience.

  1. God of classical theism
  2. Inconsistent triad
  3. The devil as the cause of evil
  4. The free will defence
  5. Job and suffering
  6. Transcendence and immanence
