This is a complete unit of work, covering around 14 hours of teaching time. This resource includes a range of activities, lesson powerpoints, a student booklet which follows the powerpoints and assessments. It encourages philosophical discussion about evil, explores theodicies and a case study of the Holocaust to question whether God can exist even though there is evil in the world.
This is a complete unit, ready to teach!
It covers:
- The problem of evil and the inconsistent triad
- Natural and moral evil
- Augustine’s theodicy
- Soul-making theodicies
- The rise of anti-semitism and Auschwitz
- Holocaust denial
- Jewish responses to the Holocaust and problem of evil
- Psychological explanations for evil, from Milgram and Zimbardo
- Assessments, including extended writing responses and multiple choice tests
I personally find this unit most appropriate to teach in Year 9 as a good step to prepare for the GCSE, though it may also work well with Year 8.
