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

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

of
quotations.
By
learning
these
you
will
develop
a
better
understanding
of
the
religious
teachings.
Failing

4. Topic 1- Religion, Peace and Justice
Christian Attitudes towards War
What is war?
• War is defined as “a period of hostile relations between
countries, states or factions that leads to fighting
between armed forces, especially in land, air or sea
battles.”
What are the Christian attitudes toward war?
There are three Christian attitudes towards War. These are -
• Holy War
• No War
• Just War
No War
Many people, whether they are religious or not, believe that all war and
fighting is wrong regardless of the purpose or eventual outcome. These
people would be considered pacifists. Pacifists will never approve of fighting
although there are some who might say that this is justified in self-defence.
One of the best-known groups of pacifists is the Religious
Society of Friends (Quakers). Although they will drive
ambulances and provide support services under fire in the
frontline of a war they will not fight under any conditions;
at times of war a Quaker will adopt the stance of
conscientious objector, which is recognised under law.
Quakers look to the teaching of Jesus in order to justify
their beliefs concerning war, and it is quite clear that Jesus stressed the need
to peace over the use of violence:
On a separate occasion towards the end of his life,
Jesus also taught the need for peace-
Jesus said this to one of his disciples who had attempted to prevent the
soldiers who had come to arrest Jesus apprehending him. Quakers believe
that these teachings from Jesus can never be reconciled to the idea of war
and this has led to the establishment of the Quaker Peace Testimony which
states the Quaker belief that war can never be justified.

5. How do Christians respond to beliefs
about the treatment of criminals?
Although many Christians believe that criminals
should be treated in line with teachings regarding
justice, other Christians are concerned that the
rights of the victims of crime and their needs are
not always met and that criminals should be
punished appropriately
In response to this many Christians would say
that Jesus was preaching a true justice so that people were not judged and
punished by those who were themselves no better than the accused. The
importance of not judging of us when we ourselves
are not perfect is also seen in the Sermon on the
Mount
“First take the plank out of your own eye, and
then you will see clearly to remove the speck
from your brother's eye.” (Matthew 7:5).
What are the Christian attitudes towards capital punishment?
Capital punishment if the state sanctioned
killing or execution of a person because of a
crime that they have committed. It is otherwise
known as the death penalty. In the Old
Testament there are many examples of crimes to
which the punishment is death. Some Christians
believe that this is the only way to deal with the
most serious crimes such as murder. Roman
Catholics believe that the use of the death
penalty is justified in certain extreme situations where it is the only option
available to protect society. The last pope, John Paul II, said that the state-
“Ought not to go to the extreme of executing the offender except in
cases of absolute necessity: in other words, when it would not be
possible otherwise to defend society.
However, the majority of Christians believe that Jesus’ teachings of
forgiveness and agape mean that all human life must be treated as sacred
and that although criminals must be punished it can never be right to take a
life as punishment-
“Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how
many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins
against me? Up to seven times?” Jesus answered,
“I tell you, not seven times, but seventy times
seven times.” (Matthew 18:21-22)

6. Christianity and Social Injustice
What is social injustice?
Social injustice is the belief that some individuals or
groups in society are denied the rights and benefits of
the majority of others in the society because of
poverty or discrimination. The world we live in often
lacks justice and many people are not treated fairly.
There are many ways in which humans can
discriminate and use this as a reason to be unfair,
such as reasons of race, religion, sex, sexuality,
wealth or class for example.
How should Christians respond to social injustice?
Many Christians take positive action against social injustice by joining
organisations designed to fight for social equality. These might include:
Anti-slavery International, the Howard league, Amnesty International or
organisations Working to help disadvantaged people such as Mencap.
Christians believe that God created all people-
“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created
him; male and female he created them.” (Genesis 1:27)
Jesus’ parables stressed the idea of fairness
and his personal treatment of women as well
as members of other races should be an
example of how to show love to different types
of people. The Parable of the Good
Samaritan is a good example of Jesus'
teaching in this respect. The Old Testament is
full of the works of prophets calling for justice
such as Isaiah- “If you satisfy the needs of
the oppressed, then your light will rise in
the darkness” (Isaiah 58:10).
Great reforms in the UK such as the
abolition of slavery, the introduction of
free education and the development of the
National Health Service can all be traced
back to the involvement of Christians
seeking a better world due to their beliefs.
Some examples of famous Christians who
have worked against social injustice are
Mother Theresa and Martin Luther King.

7. What is Liberation Theology?
Liberation theology is a modern
development in the Christian church which is
particularly concerned with issues of equality
for all. It maintains that people who follow the
teachings of Jesus have an obligation to take
positive action to oppose social injustice
and governmental abuse of power. Liberation
theology has supporters in both Protestant
and Roman Catholic churches. The work of
liberation theologians is seen most clearly in
Latin America and in some parts of Asia and
Africa. If the law of the country acts against the ordinary people in a way
which can be seen as un-Christian then it must be opposed and, if necessary,
broken. Jesus said:
“He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of
sight for the blind, to release the oppressed.”
(Luke 4:18)
The leaders of the movement in Latin America leave that people were being
exploited by the government and forced into poverty. They believed that this
treatment of the poor challenged Christian teachings about love and concern
and also showed that Christianity was being used as a means of pacifying the
people rather than to help them improve their condition. They decided that the
only way in which this could be challenged was by direct action against the
governments and people concerned.
One of the most famous priests of this movement
in the 20th century was Archbishop Oscar
Romero. Catholic leaders in Rome, including the
current Pope, have criticised liberation theology
as going too far. They do not approve of some of
the methods used by the Liberation Theologists
and consider that there are other ways of working
to help the poor which do not contravene
Christian teachings on peace.

9. Topic 2 - Religion and Equality
Biblical
Teaching about
Equality
What is equality?
• Equality is a principle which basically means “fairness” in that people in
a society are treated equally no matter what their characteristics might
be.
• Prejudice means, “Judging before”. We often do this; we judge
something before we have found out anything about it, we make up our
minds before we know the facts.
• Discrimination goes a stage further and is where people allow their
prejudiced thoughts to influence their actions, which leads them to
behave in unfair ways to either an individual or a specific group.
What is the Biblical teaching about equality?
The Bible teaches that all people
are equally valuable to God,
because they are made “in the
image of God” (Genesis 1:27).
Acts of the Apostles (which is in the
New Testament straight after the
gospels) teaches that God does not
have favourites-
“Then Peter began to speak: “I now realise how true it is that God does
not show favouritism but accepts men from every nation who fear him
and do what is right.” (Acts 10:34)
Christians believe that God loves all of humanity
unconditionally; it does not matter whether the
people are men or women, black or white, rich or
poor, attractive or unattractive. They believe that it is
important that people should show the same kind of
love for each other. They should be concerned
about other people’s welfare, whoever they are.
In the letter to the Galatians, Paul teaches people
that they should not look for differences between
people but should recognise that their Christian faith
unites them-
“There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you
are al one in Christ Jesus.” (Galatians 3:28)
12

10. Christian Attitudes to Race and Gender
How do Christians respond to racism?
• Racism is the belief that some
people are better than others
because of the colour of their skin
or their ethnic origin.
• Christianity was for centuries
strongest amongst white, Western
people, but today there are
Christians of all different colours
and nationalities.
• According to Christianity, because
all people are made by God and
are equally valued by God, they
should all be treated as equally
important and Christianity teaches
that racism can never be right.
Jesus was once asked what a man could do to inherit eternal life. He asked
the man what the Jewish law said on the subject, and the man told him-
“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and
with all your strength and with all your mind: and love your neighbour
as yourself.” (Luke 10:27) The person asking the question was still;
confused; he wanted to know which people he should treat as his neighbours,
and which people were not important, and which people could be ignored.
Jesus answered by telling the Parable of
the Good Samaritan. At the time of Jesus,
Samaritans were treated as an inferior race,
and no one wanted to mix with them. The
Parable of the Good Samaritan teaches
that people should treat each other as
neighbours and look after them, even if
they are strangers or from a different
nationality.
This does not mean that Christianity has
always taken a firm stand against racism.
Sometimes, people who call themselves Christians have been responsible for
encouraging racist attitudes; for example, some Christians in the past have
been slave-owners or enthusiastic supporters of apartheid in South Africa.
The Dutch Reformed Church is a denomination of
Christianity in South Africa that has actively
supported apartheid and racist attitudes. But there
have also been many Christians who have devoted
their lives to the struggle against racism, because
they believed that helping to get rid of racism is an
important way of putting Christian beliefs into practice.
13

11. Martin Luther King
Martin Luther King was a Christian who lived in
America at a time when black people and white
people were often kept apart and not allowed to
mix (segregation).
Martin Luther King was black and his Christian
beliefs led him to campaign against racism by
leading non-violent protests against racist
rules. Trevor Huddleston and Desmond Tutu
campaigned in South Africa to try and break
down the system of apartheid.
How do Christians respond to sexism?
Sexism is another form of prejudice. It is the belief that one gender is inferior
to the other. In practice, this is nearly always the belief that women are inferior
to men.
Sex discrimination is when sexist attitudes are put into practice, so that
women, or sometimes men, are disadvantaged because of their gender. For
example, a woman might be overlooked for promotion and the job might be
given to a man even though the woman might be more experienced and
better qualified. In 1975, the Sex Discrimination Act was passed, which
made it illegal to discriminate against job applicants because of their gender.
Within Christianity there are many different opinions
about whether men and women should have
different roles, duties and responsibilities, or
whether they should be the same. The Bible is not
completely consistent in its teaching about gender.
In many passages, it is accepted that men have
more rights than women. Society in the Old and
New Testament times was patriarchal- men had
the dominant role, and women were treated as
their property.
14

12. Women
should
remain
silent
in
the
churches.
They
are
no
allowed
to
speak,
but
must
be
in
submission,
as
then
Law
says.
If
they
want
to
enquire
about
something,
they
should
ask
their
own
husbands
at
home;
for
it
is
disgraceful
for
a
woman
to
speak
in
the
church.
1
Corinthians 14:34-35
In the Ten Commandments, for example, when people are told not to envy
each other’s property, wives are included in a list of a man’s belongings,
alongside houses and donkeys. In the New Testament too, women are
sometimes expected to follow the orders of men and not express their
opinions-
Some Christians believe that men and women were always intended to be
partners for each other, but that they have different skills and abilities, which
compliment each other
Other Christians, however, hold different
views. They believe that God created men
and women to be equal, to share the same
opportunities and to use the talents that
they have been given, whether they are
male or female-
It is quite clear from the Gospels that Jesus took notice of women as well as
men. It was the women who were the first to see Jesus after the
resurrection.
The Roman Catholics believe that women should not be allowed to become
priests. Some people have drawn attention to the fact that Jesus chose men
as his apostles, but not women. They argue that this proves that men were
always meant to be the leaders in a church, not women.
In other churches, women have always been
allowed to take leadership roles. The
Salvation Army, for example, has always
argued that if someone is right for the job, it
doesn’t matter if they are male or female.
Other denominations, such as The Church
of England have changed their views during
the twentieth century, perhaps because it is
during the last century that women have
become more equal to men in society.
15

13. Christian Attitudes to Other Religions
How do Christians respond to members of other religions?
This has been a very problematic question for Christians over the centuries.
Many Christians believe that the only way to gain salvation is to accept
Jesus Christ as the saviour and follow the path that he laid down for
the benefit of everyone in the New Testament and his teachings-
“Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes
to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6)
Some Cardinals in the Roman Catholic Church
do still hold the view that other religions
provide nothing more than an obstacle to
salvation. This is a quote from Pope Benedict
XVI before he became the present pope-
“Religions other than Christianity are
considered to be "gravely deficient." Their
rituals can constitute "an obstacle to
salvation" for their followers.”
Some Christians interpret these quotes to
mean that eternal life with God is only for
Christian believers. They say that there would
be no point in the death and resurrection of
Jesus if there were already lots of other ways
to reach God, and therefore Christianity is the
only true religion.
There are three typical responses to other religions by Christians-
1. Missionary work
2. Evangelism
3. Ecumenism
1. What is a missionary?
Missionary work is the act of fulfilling the teachings
of Jesus through following in his footsteps.
Christians used to travel to other countries as
missionaries, with the aim of changing the religion
of the people they met and persuading them to
become Christians instead.
There are still missionaries and missionary societies today, and although they
still believe that they must spread the message of Jesus wherever they go,
many of them are now in more concerned with helping people in developing
countries rather than trying to convert them: they serve their mission by
showing the example of Jesus in their lives. Nevertheless, Christianity
remains a religion that sees itself as having an obligation to lead other people
towards Christianity.
16

14. 2. What is Evangelism?
Evangelism is the spreading of the
teachings of Jesus from the Gospels or
“good news”.
The Salvation Army is an example of a
Christian group who believe it is their
mission to spread Jesus' teachings as well is
to carry out essential work to help the poor
and disadvantaged.
Some Christians however, believe that God
would not be willing to punish someone who
was a devoted follower of a non-Christian
religion as that person was born in a region
where Christianity is not the dominant
religion and therefore was not brought Christianity.
3. What is ecumenism?
This is the belief that all
religions and denominations
within a religion should work
together for the good of
mankind.
Within Christianity itself, there are differences and prejudices. Sometimes,
Roman Catholics and Protestants have serious disagreements about issues
like the authority of the Pope, or whether women should be allowed to be
priests. There are many thousands of denominations within Christianity and
many of these groups are now working together with joint services and
community work because they believe that although there may be differences
between them they still share the same essential beliefs.
Taize is a small Christian community in a village in
France founded in 1940 during the Second World War
by a Catholic monk called Roger Schutz. The original
purpose of Taize was to offer hospitality to refugees, in
particular Jews who were escaping from Nazi Germany.
Since the late 1960s the community has been working
towards improving relationships between Protestants
and Catholics.
17

15. Christian Beliefs about Forgiveness and
Reconciliation
What does Christianity teach about forgiveness and reconciliation?
• Forgiveness is when we forgive people or something they have done
wrong.
• Reconciliation is the ending of a dispute between people and the
restoring of a good relationship.
Christianity teaches that people should not hold grudges, and should not keep
remembering their differences and arguments. The Lord’s Prayer, taught by
Jesus and used everyday by Christians around the world, reminds people that
they should be forgiving if they expect God to forgive them-
“Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our sins, as we
forgive those who sin against us.”
(Matthew 6).
The Old Testament is very different in its
view and teaches that it is necessary for a
balance to be restored when a crime has
been committed- “An eye for an eye, and
a tooth for a tooth.” (Exodus 21:23)
However, Jesus says he had come to replace this old attitude with an attitude
of love and forgiveness-
“Do not resist an evil person. If someone
strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him
the other also.” (Matthew 5:39)
Jesus showed that he was more concerned
with getting people to change than with
exacting revenge. Christians try to put this
teaching of Jesus into practice when they
can, even though it is often hard to do this.

16. Christians who feel that they need to be forgiven for something that they have
done can go to their priest or minister to seek help. Reconciliation is the act of
attempting to make up for something as a process of seeking forgiveness.
This is the case particularly in the Roman Catholic Church where there is
Sacrament of Reconciliation. Catholics believe that because Jesus gave the
power to forgive people their sins this has been passed on to priests. The
priest helps them make amends for their actions through prayer and
repentance.
For many Christians the central act of
forgiveness and reconciliation is the
Sacrament of the Eucharist. Christians
believe that God sent Jesus to be sacrificed
on the cross in order to reconcile God with
humanity. Humans are forgiven at the death
and resurrection of Jesus and this is
remembered at the Eucharist.
