Religious Studies

Course summary

Religious Studies at A Level offers a fascinating insight into many of the fundamental problems of human existence, questions which people have pondered and discussed throughout history: Why am I here? Is there a God? Why do people suffer? Will I survive my death? How can I live a good life? Is Christianity true? What impact has evolution or feminism had on religious belief? We study the ways in which thinkers from the past have responded to these (and other) questions and how they can help us to find meaning, purpose and a ‘good life’ ourselves. Dealing with such questions is a life-long task, and there is a wealth of resources from philosophical and religious traditions to help us examine them.
