Are you interested in questions like: “Why are we here?” “How can Jesus be human and divine?” “What makes something good?” and “Does God exist?” If so, then this is the subject for you! Religious Studies is not only fascinating but it also develops critical thinking skills, which are high on the list of requirements for prospective employers. The course begins by introducing the foundations of theological, philosophical and ethical thought through examining the work of key thinkers such as Aquinas. You then go on to look at issues that are significant in society; for example the rise of secularism, how God can allow evil to exist and whether goodness exists as an objective reality. The course also considers ethical theories such as Natural Law, Utilitarianism and Situation ethics as well as assessing whether human beings genuinely make free choices. The nature and significance of religious texts and concepts is discussed and the influence they have on the life of a religious believer is assessed. You will also examine the nature of religious experience and religious language.
Grade 5 in GCSE Religious Studies.
There are three exams one on each of the three components studies (Christian Theology, Philosophy of Religion, Religious Ethics), these are taken at the end of the second year of study. Within lessons, students will be assessed through the submission of essays and by completing mock examinations.
