Religious Studies gives you an opportunity to engage with some of the most significant questions that human beings can ask themselves. You will look at arguments for and against the existence of God, the purpose of evil and suffering, whether humans have free will, how people decide whether an action is right or wrong. You will also look at real-life ethical debates such as abortion, IVF and the death penalty. - Is abortion ever morally justifiable? - Are there good arguments to support belief in a God? - If God is omniscient and knows everything, does He know what I will do tomorrow? If He knows what I will do then do I have any choice to do something different? - Does Science provide an exhaustive explanation of life? - Is it possible to believe in miracles today? These are questions that people have discussed as long as people have discussed anything at all! Philosophers believe the answers to such questions are not a matter of opinion, but issues of logic or reason. Differentiating what is reasonable from what is not is often not straightforward. Religious Studies is a challenging subject that will teach you to think. Religious Studies provides opportunities to: - develop the ability to make responsible judgments on significant moral teaching and issues; - consider moral values and attitudes of individuals, faith communities or contemporary society; - study relationships between religion and culture; - develop skills in reasoning on matters concerning values, attitudes and actions.
