All learners will study three components; Philosophy of religion (01), Religion and ethics (02) and Developments in religious thought (03 – 07). Whilst Components 01 and 02 are mandatory, the third will constitute the in-depth study of a religious tradition chosen from the five available options; Christianity (03), Islam (04), Judaism (05), Buddhism (06) or Hinduism (07). In Philosophy of religion learners will study philosophical issues and questions raised by religion and belief. These include arguments regarding the existence or non-existence of God, the nature and influence of religious experience and the problems of evil and suffering. The study of Religion and ethics is characterised by a study of ethical language and thought through significant concepts and the works of key thinkers, illustrated by issues in religion and ethics, and also by the application of ethical theory to issues of importance. Learners will study normative ethical theories and the application of these, as well as key ethical concepts. Developments in religious thought provides an opportunity for the systematic study of one religious tradition. This will include exploration of religious beliefs, values and teachings, sources of wisdom and authority and practices that shape and express religious identity.
