Beskrivning

Whether you’re new to Religious Education teaching or looking to refine your practice, this book equips you with the confidence and knowledge to teach lessons that are relevant, enriching, and reflective of today’s world. Based on cutting-edge research, its accessible and systematic framework explores the six major world religions, alongside Humanism, indigenous religions or worldviews and others like Jain, Rastafari and atheism. Spanning creation myths, ethical frameworks, denominations and scriptures, knowledge is fully cross-referenced and organised by theme, making it equally useful whatever your curriculum or syllabus. This unique format asks the same questions of each religion and worldview: who or what is God? Where do we come from? How do we know? How do we live? What is the goal of life? What is the path to reach the goal? Each religion’s section of abstract knowledge is accompanied by teaching suggestions that bring its ideas off the page and into the classroom. Accessible and comprehensive, this is an indispensable guide for every teacher of Religious Education.
