This course consists of 3 units: • Philosophy of Religion • Religion & Ethics • Developments in Religious Thought Philosophy of Religion: This is the study of the big questions! Does God exist? Should we fear death? Do we really have free will?

Religion & Ethics: This is the study of right and wrong. Students will critically examine ethical theories and apply them to topical issues. Is abortion wrong? Should we experiment on animals? Should the death penalty be reintroduced? Students carry out an in-depth study of business ethics, sexual ethics and euthanasia as well as debating other contemporary issues. Developments in Religious Thought: This topic explores the key questions raised by religion in the 21st century. Is the church inherently sexist? Is there really an afterlife? Do science and religion oppose each other? Students will explore how historical, political and social change has shaped religion in and consider what role, if any, religion will play in the future.
