The study of Religious Studies at A Level allows students to engage and develop their analytical and logical powers. What better way to do this than considering and debating some of the greatest unanswered questions!!
Students consider such issues as the existence of God, the rise of atheism, how religious concepts are expressed through art and the role of art and media within modern and historical religion. In essence students will be studying the questions at the heart of modern day religion.
In order to consider these questions students will study the key texts of philosophers and images of Christian Art in order to evaluate their ideas and the claims they make. This leads to lessons taking the form of lively discussions about the topics under consideration.
At each stage students are encouraged to understand the ideas presented, and then develop their own arguments and come to their own conclusions on the issues raised. A challenging subject, particularly at A2, but very rewarding for those who take to it. |
