​​Why Religious Education?

 

  • To encourage the disciplined study of The Gospels (including texts, history traditions, beliefs, practices and philosophy)

 

  • To introduce students to the ways in which scholars approach The Gospels and to develop students’ interest in, and critical awareness of, the religious significance of the Gospel.

 

  • To show the importance, for religious studies, of the cultural, historical and social background to each Gospel.

 

  • To introduce students to some of the key issues in religion which are of perennial interest and of present-day concern.

 

  • To widen the knowledge of diverse approaches to received tradition, beliefs and practices.
