AQA GCSE Christianity - 1.10 Heaven and Hell

Inspired by AQA GCSE Religious Studies A Christianity. Chapter 1 Beliefs & Teachings.

In this lesson, students will explore the Christian concepts of heaven and hell, examining biblical descriptions and theological interpretations of these ultimate destinations. They will investigate the differences between literal interpretations, which view heaven and hell as physical places, and modern interpretations, which often see them as symbolic of spiritual states or relationships with God. Through group discussions, scriptural analysis, and critical thinking activities, students will deepen their understanding of these beliefs and their significance within Christianity. The lesson will encourage students to reflect on how these interpretations influence Christian perspectives on morality, life purpose, and the afterlife.
