ADVICE ON REVISION This guide has been produced to give you all the key information you will need to pass your RS G.C.S.E. The information is laid out in easy to read bullet points with quotations to support the information. Each section contains the teachings of Christianity on the units you have covered in class. It is important to remember that there is rarely a simple teaching accepted by all believers, especially in Christianity. If you do not understand any of the words or information it is important that you look it up or ask for help. HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE The booklet has been laid out clearly into different sections corresponding to the units you have covered and will answer in the exam. You will find the information laid out in bullet points. This is the bare bones of what you will need. You must refer to your exercise book and any other revision guide (GCSE BBC Bitesize, the VLE or revision books published by OCR) that you have access to. If you are not familiar with any of the terms used it is important that you ask. At the end of each set of bullet points you will find a series of quotations. By learning these you will develop a better understanding of the religious teachings. Failing that, it is a good idea to know where the teachings come from, so try to learn the references. HOW TO REMEMBER There are many different ways to revise but the best way is to be active in what you are doing. Don’t just read through your notes and the guide Don’t just pick it up, do 3 minutes and then put it down Don’t leave everything to the last minute Don’t revise without breaks Don’t punish yourself if you get something wrong Don’t revise where you know you will get disturbed Do make a plan of what you will revise and when Do test the information you have learned each time Do give yourself rewards when you have worked hard Do put up post it notes around the house containing key terms, dates, concepts, etc. Especially in places you visit a lot, e.g. the fridge, toilet, light switches etc Do play quiet music if it helps you to concentrate Do tell your friends that you are serious about doing well Do get other people to help you parents, friends etc
Do revise with friends if you know that they are serious too

THE EXAM In the exam it is important not to panic. Take your time to read through the questions and select the ones that you are confident with. Make sure that you understand what every part of the paper is asking you. You will have lots of time to plan your answers so don’t just rush straight in. Set yourself 30 minutes for each question and make sure that you do not over run. You can always add more at the end if you have time. Try to ensure you are not repeating yourself. Always write in full sentences. If you are running out of time and have not included everything, jot down in bullet points what you wanted to say. You will get credit for this. If you have finished before time is up, take care to read through your answers, correct any mistakes and add any more information that you may think of. You must choose 2 Christianity questions from the choice of 3. Each question is in 5 parts (a, b, c, d and e) which add up to 24 marks. A – 1 mark. This will ask for the meaning of a religious word related to the topic. One sentence will do. B – 2 marks. This will ask for 2 facts about an idea related to the topic so be specific and think in terms of your knowledge of Christianity. Do not over simplify. C – 3 marks. This will ask for a description of Christian beliefs about an issue. Try to give 3 ideas. D – 6 marks. More detail is needed here. The examiner marks this answer on a system of levels to assess the quality of your answer. They are looking for a comprehensive answer, structure and use of specialist (religious) terms. E – 12 marks. (That’s 50% of the marks in case you needed that pointing out) Again this is marked on levels. You must make sure you are answering the question. A top level answer will show you have given your opinion and explained your reasons for it and included a range of other possible points of view. You must also show you know what a possible Christian response would be. It is a discussion, on paper. Write as much as you possibly can. Refer back to the question in your answer to retain focus and you will be fine.

GCSE Philosophy and Ethics
B601 Revision Booklet Introduction Philosophy is about trying to understand basic concepts such as truth, existence, reality, causes and freedom. Basically, philosophy is an attempt to answer DEEP and MEANINGFUL questions. E.g.
1. How did we get here? 2. Why are we here? 3. Did someone put us here? 4. Why are there good and bad things in life? 5. Who is in charge of everything? 6. What happens next?
There are different types of truth. This may seem confusing but answering these types of philosophical questions means that you cannot rely on what we might usually think of as ‘proof’ or evidence based truth. So, here are the different types of truth: • Scientific truth
This means that through experiments and analysis we can work out results and find answers. We cannot do this when talking about religion.
• Historical truth
Evidence based from books and archaeology that show what happened in the past. Most religious books are historical, but if you do not believe in the religion then it is unlikely that the book will be believed as a historical account.
• Moral truth
When people believe they ‘know’ whether something is right or wrong although there is no evidence for this, only argument.
• Artistic truth
A film or novel or piece of music might represent reality in a way that sheds light on something or says something meaningful about the way people behave.
• Spiritual truth
Generally found in religion, this means that people discover the ‘truth’ through God.
7
Reasons Christians believe in God The following are some of the reason why a Christian might believe in God. 1. Ontological argument.
First put forward by Anselm of Canterbury in the 11th Century. A bit confusing but put simply, it means that God is the greatest being imaginable and he must exist otherwise we would not be able to describe him in this way. A bit confusing but this is all you need to know.
2. Cosmological argument.
Christians believe that something cannot come from nothing. Therefore the universe must have been created by something powerful. The only thing powerful enough is God – therefore, God must exist. Thomas Aquinas put this argument forward. (Some people argue that the theory of the Big Bang – a scientific theory – was really God creating the universe.)
3. Teleological argument (Design argument) William Paley – a Christian philosopher, produced an argument about a Divine Watchmaker. He imagined finding a watch in a field by someone who had never seen a watch before. The fact that a watch is so complex means it could not have come into existence by chance – someone or something must have designed it! Paley argued that the world is like a complicated machine and must have been designed – much like the watch.
4. Argument from experience
Some argue that God can be experienced, this maybe through miracles or answers to prayer. People believe they have felt God’ presence or heard him speak to them so he must exist.
5. The Moral argument
This argument imply states that people have a basic understanding of ‘good’ and ‘bad’ and ‘right’ and ‘wrong’. They believe we are born with this knowledge and that it is given to us by God.
6. Background and Upbringing
People brought up in a Christian family may accept God exists because they have always been taught so.
Arguments against the existence of God • Atheists reject all these arguments saying that they are not reliable evidence. They say
the universe can be explained through the study of science and physics. • Some people argue that Darwin’s theory of Evolution shows that complex beings like humans
arrived through natural selection and that there is no design process. This challenged Paley’s theory.
• Some argue that the world is very imperfect and that disasters like earthquakes, famine and other natural disasters show that the world cannot have been designed.
• Some argue that we do not need God to tell us how to work out right from wrong and how to make good moral decisions, we can do this ourselves.
• Why does evil exist if God is all good and all-powerful? • Others argue that we should challenge our upbringing and not accept everything we are
told and try to work things out for our selves.
8
Miracles in the Bible. A Miracle is an event that cannot be explained by science or any human activity. Christians say this demonstrates God’s omnipotence and power over science and nature. They also believe that it shows God’s love for his people.
One famous example is from the Old Testament when Moses asked God to part the waves of the Red Sea to allow the Israelites to escape.
In the New Testament, which describes the life of Jesus, there are many accounts of Jesus performing miracles. • He fed 5000 people with 2 fish
and 5 loaves of bread. • Jesus turned water into wine at
a wedding when the wine had run out.
• Jesus brought Lazarus back
from the dead
Most Christians would recognise the Resurrection of Jesus after his crucifixion as the greatest of all miracles. This is when Jesus came back from the dead after he was put to death on the cross and is celebrated at Easter – the most important day of the year for Christians.
To Christians, these stories demonstrate the awesome power of God over nature show him intervening in the world. Christians believe this shows that God exists.
9
Miracles Today A Christian may ask God for a miracle to help them in a crisis. E.g. when a loved one is suffering an illness. This is often done through pilgrimage and prayer and many Christians believe that miracles can and do happen today. Lourdes in France is a very important pilgrimage site for Christians (especially Catholics). It is said that the Virgin Mary (mother of Jesus) appeared to a young peasant girl. A fountain appeared that is said to have healing properties and more than 5 million pilgrims visit Lourdes every year in the hope of either a cure for themselves or others. Many people are said to have recovered from serous illness after visiting Lourdes. KEY WORDS

Part2: Religious and spiritual experience
• Public and private worship • Prayer and meditation • Food and fasting.
It is very difficult to say exactly what a ‘religious experience’ is. Some describe it as a ‘tingly’ feeling, like when listening to a piece of music that is special to you. Some describe it as ‘sense of awe and wonder’ that makes a person feel that they are in the presence of God. This experience is very individual and allows some people to be more certain in their spiritual beliefs. After a religious experience, people express their beliefs in different ways. E.g. • Through Prayer • Through meditation • Worship with others
Worship
For many Christians worship is one of the most important ways of expressing their belief in God. Christians worship in a local church, as part of a local community, which is part of a global community or church (there are over 2 billion Christians worldwide) Through worship Christians: • Honour God • Develop a relationship with God • Show love and commitment to
God • Praise God • Ask for help or guidance • Strengthen their faith • Get closer to God.
Learn these reasons for worship.
Numinous – a word to describe a religious experience that is mystical and unlike any other, which we do not have words to explain.
12
Features of public worship • There are many different Christian denominations
(Orthodox, Protestant, Catholic, Baptist etc) which each have a different style of worship. However most worship in a holy building called a church, cathedral or chapel usually on a Sunday.
• Sing hymns or play music. • Make the sign of the cross to demonstrate their faith. • Pray together, often in front of an altar. • Readings from the Bible. • Listen to a sermon conducted by a
preacher, priest or vicar. • Take part in the Eucharist (the most
common form of Christian worship)
Private Worship Many Christians also worship regularly throughout their daily lives. Individual prayers give Christians an opportunity to communicate with God about personal issues that might not be appropriate during public services. These prayers could be read from a prayer book or they may be spontaneous. Some might help others as a way of experiencing God putting Christian teachings into practice.
The Eucharist. This is the most common form of public worship for Christians and is also called Holy Communion or Mass. This is where bread and wine are shared to remember the Last Supper that Jesus held with his 12 disciples before his death. It allows Christians to unite in their belief.
13
Symbolism in Worship A symbol is an image or picture used to represent something that has deeper meaning. Symbols are often used within Christian worship. Here are some examples:
1. The Crucifix. The most common and easily recognised
symbol found in Christian religious buildings as well as worn or displayed (perhaps in the form of a tattoo) by believers.
2. Alpha and Omega. The first and last letters of the Greek alphabet meaning that Jesus is the beginning and ending of all things.
3. The fish (Icthus). Originally a secret
symbol used by early Christians who feared Roman persecution. The letters ICTHUS symbolise the belief in ‘Jesus
Christ God’s Son Saviour’.
4. Chi-Rho. The first two letters of Jesus’ name in Greek.
5. Candle. Te represent Jesus
as the light of the world.
6. Dove. Represents peace. Why is symbolism important?
• They help convey deeper meaning • They remind Christians about their faith • They help Christians focus during worship • They are visual reminders • They help identify Christians to other people • They help Christians feel closer to God in a more personal way
Art is also used to help Christians worship. This can be in the form of paintings, sculptures, statues, music, poetry, stained-glass windows and various other ways. It helps express worship without words. It can help ‘say the unsayable’.
14
Prayer
Prayer is a form of communication with God that may be spoken or silent, it helps develop a relationship with God. Jesus taught Christians to pray. Meditation is a quiet form of prayer that allows the worshipper to concentrate the mind on spiritual matters.
This is the most famous Christian prayer taught by Jesus to his disciples and includes many different themes. E.g. • Confession • Thankfulness • Adoration • Concern for
others • Being humble
What is the purpose of prayer? • Ask for help or guidance • To give thanks • To confess (own up) to sins • To feel closer to God • To meditate in worship • To follow the example set by Jesus • To bring comfort in times of need Prayer enables Christians to deepen their faith and is a powerful tool that allows the worshipper to demonstrate their religious commitment. It provides a direct relationship with God and Christians believe it has spiritual power in providing guidance and direction and answers for those who seem lost.
Rosary Beads These are sometimes used when praying to help focus the mind on what is being said and shut out everything else.
Try and work out the meanings for yourselves.
15
Food and Fasting Fasting is when you go without food or drink for a ser amount of time. This is usually connected to ideas of purification of the body and soul. It makes them less selfish and provides the opportunity to reflect on others rather then themselves.
The most common time for fasting is Lent. Christians might give up their favourite food during the 40 days before Easter. This remembers the time when Jesus went to the wilderness for 40 days and nights and was tempted by the Devil. They remember his suffering as well as demonstrating their own commitment and showing self-discipline.
Food Most Christians eat all types of food, as they believe we have dominion over the earth and that God provided us with plants, animals and fish to eat. Some may be vegetarian as they believe we have the responsibility of stewardship over the earth and that we should look after the animals of the world.
There are some foods that are traditional within Christianity.
• Bread and wine at the Eucharist (Holy Communion) service • Hot cross buns at Easter • Pancakes on Shrove Tuesday • Mince pies at Christmas.
Some of these foods are now consumed by secular society as part of wider national celebrations and not necessarily for religious reasons.

Part 3: The End of Life
• Body and soul • Life after death • Funeral rites
What is the soul? The soul can be described s the non-physical part of a human. Christianity teaches that all have an immortal soul. This means it cannot die and lives on after our physical bodies have passed away. Ideas about the soul include:
• The part of a human that is not physical • The part of the human that lives on after
the body dies • The spiritual aspect of a human that
makes every person unique from each other
• The part of a human that allows them to relate to God.
The belief in the soul means that humans are distinct and separate from every other creature. Christians believe that animals do not have do not have a soul. The following quotes suggest that humans have a divine spark which animals do not possess.
• ‘God created man in his own image’. • ‘The lord God formed the man from
the dust of the ground and breathed into the nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being’. Genesis 2:7
Christians believe that the soul is immortal because:
• Jesus conquered death when was resurrected and ascended to heaven.
• There are references to Abraham, Moses and Elijah (former prophets) appearing with Jesus suggesting their spirits live on.
• There is something infinite and inexplicable about the human mind that goes beyond the realms of physics and the material world.
A non-believer would probably agree that people had a soul. However, many people link the idea of soul with the idea of a conscience that does not come from God.
18
Life after Death Christians believe that death is not the end and that there is life after death. Christians cannot fully explain what death will be like and refer to teachings from the Bible. They all believe that they will be reunited with God in some form. More generally, people tend to believe that we will be reunited with loved ones. Jesus promised there would be a place for all who believed in him. Christians believe that the immortal soul continues on a journey of eternal life in Heaven, Hell or Purgatory. • Heaven – A place free from suffering where believers who have not
sinned can join with God. Quote – ‘There will be no more death, mourning, crying or pain’ Revelation 21:4
• Purgatory – particularly strong with Catholics, this is the belief that this is a place where souls go of people who are not ready to go to Heaven. In the Middle-Ages, rich people believed they could pay money to get out of purgatory more quickly.
• • Hell – A place of eternal pain and
suffering without God often associated with fire, torture and torment. It was used as a way of frightening people into following the teachings of Christianity and encouraging people to behave more morally. Some Christians believe this description of Hell is more symbolic and that it is more a ‘state of mind’.
Jesus was crucified on a cross on Good Friday. Christians believe that he rose 3 days later and was resurrected. This is celebrated at Easter. Jesus sacrificed himself on the cross in order to redeem believers from the original sin of Adam and Eve. Those who believe in him can be forgiven for their sins and enter Heaven. They can gain salvation (be saved) and redemption (forgiveness) through Jesus.
19
God as Judge Christians believe that God is eternal and created the world from the very beginning, and that he will be there at the end of the world as the ultimate Judge. After death Christians believe God will judge each human individually according to the way they have lived their lives, their faith and their actions.
Apostles Creed – according to this early Christian teaching, God will judge the ‘living and the dead’ at the end of time. The Bible states that there are two books – one containing the deeds and actions people have done in their lives, and the other containing the names of all those who have shown belief in the life of Jesus. Those who have followed Jesus will be rewarded; those who haven’t will be punished. The parable of the Sheep and Goats (see page 22) This is a popular teaching from the Bible that explains how God will; Judge humans. When the Day of Judgement comes, humans will be separated into two groups, those who have lived good lives will be rewarded, and those who have not will be damned to eternity in Hell without God.
These beliefs clearly have a definite impact on the way Christians live their lives and they will try and live according to God in order to attain the desired outcome. Many Christians try and recognise when they have done something wrong and confess their sins to God in order to gain forgiveness. They put their faith in God to guide them to eternal life with him in Heaven.
Teachings about judgement Acts 17:31 For he has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by the man he has appointed. He has given proof of this to all men by raising him from the dead.
20
Funeral Rites Funeral rites are the customs and ceremonies that happen after a person has died. Some people plan their own funerals so they can be remembered in a special way. This may involve special readings or poetry or perhaps music that had a special meaning for them.
Christians believe that funeral rites are very important. They: • Help those left behind cope with
the loss. • Provide comfort. • Provide an opportunity to say
goodbye.
What happens at a Christian funeral? • Christians can be either buried or cremated. • Bible readings. John 11:25-26 is a common passage which mentions
eternal life with God. ‘I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies, and whoever lives and believes in me will never die’.
• Prayers are said for both the deceased and the friends and family. • Eulogy. A eulogy is a special kind of speech about a deceased person
and celebrates their lives with everyone present at the funeral. • Hymns. Hymns are sung, often chosen by the deceased before they
die. • Eucharist. Some Christians, particularly Roman Catholics, celebrate
the Eucharist as it remembers the death and resurrection of Jesus. • The Committal. After the service the body is then buried or cremated.
When buried the phrase ‘Ashes to ashes; dust to dust; in sure and certain hope of the resurrection to eternal life’ are often used.
How do funeral rites support the bereaved? • It is an acknowledgement that the person is no longer part of the
physical world and is now with God. • Family and friends can come together and comfort each other. • The life of the deceased can be celebrated. • The bereaved are able to share their feelings and emotions for the
deceased. • It allows the deceased to gain a sense of ‘closure’ and begin to accept
life without the deceased.

The parable of the sheep and
the goats.
31"But when the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory. 32Before him all the nations will be gathered, and he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33He will set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. 34Then the King will tell those on his right hand, 'Come, blessed of my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; 35for I was hungry, and you gave me food to eat. I was thirsty, and you gave me drink. I was a stranger, and you took me in. 36I was naked, and you clothed me. I was sick, and you visited me. I was in prison, and you came to me.' 37"Then the righteous will answer him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, and feed you; or thirsty, and give you a drink? 38When did we see you as a stranger, and take you in; or naked, and clothe you? 39When did we see you sick, or in prison, and come to you?' 40"The King will answer them, 'Most certainly I tell you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.' 41Then he will say also to those on the left hand, 'Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels; 42for I was hungry, and you didn't give me food to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me no drink; 43I was a stranger, and you didn't take me in; naked, and you didn't clothe me; sick, and in prison, and you didn't visit me.' 44"Then they will also answer, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and didn't help you?' 45"Then he will answer them, saying, 'Most certainly I tell you, inasmuch as you didn't do it to one of the least of these, you didn't do it to me.' 46These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."
Key Teachings • At the end of the world God will judge people on the choices they have
made and how they have lived their lives • God will separate the good from the bad like a shepherd separates the
sheep from the goats • On his right will be the good (the sheep). They will be with him in heaven • On his left will be the bad (the goats). They will be sent away from him to
hell. • God judges us on how we treat our fellow humans. We are all created in
his image.
