An intelligent, thought-through understanding of the teachings, history and beliefs of the world’s major faiths is relevant and necessary in our modern age, arguably more than ever. For stages 5–6.
Five major world faiths – Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity and Islam – are examined. Students will appreciate the areas of agreement and disagreement in teaching and theology and understand how this influences the lives of their respective believers. The final chapter – Pluralism – examines and dismantles the modern ‘economy of effort’ approach towards faith and belief.

Now for the first time with a teacher’s manual with background notes, further reading and numerous extension activities.
