Religious Studies A-Level Part 2

This course is the follow-up to Part 1, and you will continue to find out how people make sense of existence, morality and the divine. You will explore topics such as religious experiences, ethical theories and the role of religion in society — developing an understanding of different worldviews and the ability to think critically about moral and spiritual issues. This qualification cannot only help you build strong analytical and evaluative skills, but also fosters empathy, reflection and reasoned argument.

The course contains five lessons that follow on from Part 1:

  1. Religious Language (Analogy and Symbol, Verification and Falsification, Language Game)
  2. Belief and Unbelief (Critiques of Religious Belief, Life after Death, Creation and Cosmology)
  3. Ethics (Kant’s Deontological Ethics, Aristotelian Virtue Ethics, Cognitivism and Non-Cognitivism, Religion and Morality, Medical Ethics – the beginning and end of life)
  4. Christianity and Society (The Challenge from Science, Secularisation, new movements in theology, pluralism and diversity, gender equality and discrimination)
  5. Atonement Theory and Scholars
