Religious Studies

Course summary

This course aims to develop an understanding of the shared heritage of Philosophy, Theology and Ethics. Scholars from all three disciplines have had an influence on the development of western civilisation, and have affected the way in which societies and individuals think and act. Engaging with these thinkers encourages critical examination and evaluation of evidence and arguments, and develops the ability to construct, develop and maintain a clear and coherent argument. In addition it encourages wide reading and introduces pupils to some of the key ideas and texts which have played a large role in shaping our intellectual heritage.
