  • Continuity, change and diversity

Description

This unit will deepen pupils' understanding of the concept of Prophethood in the Abrahamic traditions. Using a theological lens, pupils will investigate the ancestral stories that form a point of connection between Christians, Jews and Muslims. They will analyse similarities and differences.

In the previous unit, pupils examined the story of Abraham and how he is interpreted as a common ancestor for Jews, Muslims and Christians. From this, they developed an understanding of the idea of covenant in Abrahamic tradtions. This unit will build their theological understanding looking at how Jews, Muslims and Christians interpret stories of Prophets. This idea will be further explored in Year 8 through investigating differing interpretations of the figure of Jesus in Abrahamic faiths.
