Big Questions Big Answers: Vol 1: Investigating God

Welcome to our new curriculum series, Big Questions, Big Answers. It is our vision to provide high-quality, supportive,
knowledge-rich, creative teaching and learning resources and strategies for use in the primary classroom. This six-book
series will investigate the following subjects: God, worldviews, religion and the environment, worship, how people
live and good and evil.

As well as the type of material you would normally see in our books, this series has a multidisciplinary
section. There are more details of this elsewhere
on the page. This has been kindly funded by the
Templeton World Charity Foundation.

The concept of God is an essential piece of substantive content to teach in RE. However, even the title of the book brings some ‘big questions’, as for some religious worldviews this is perhaps not appropriate language – as you can see from the title of our section on the Hindu religious tradition.

This book aims to increase teacher and pupil subject knowledge, particularly focusing on four worldviews: nonreligious, Christian, Hindu and Muslim. The book provides a series of tried and tested strategies, high-quality images, key vocabulary and valuable information for teachers. This book also focuses on the
concept of God through a psychological and a theological lens.

We continue to expand the digital offerings for our books. For this series there will be a section of the website where you can download extra materials such as a digital copy of each unit, allowing you to save it in year-group or module files on your
school’s system. There will also be short knowledge
film clips, clips of our ‘lead investigators’ talking
and samples of pupil work. Do let us know which
sections of this series you use in your school, and
we would love to see examples of pupil work to
share with others.
