I designed these to help me assess my students mid - topic before I set them an essay. Intended to take about 40 mins each, the four tests (Utilitarianism, Situation Ethics, Natural Law 1 and Natural Law 2 (Finnis/Hoose) contain a mix of short and longer questions.

Four retrieval quizzes, three suitable for mini whiteboards and one on Word, on: Verification Falsification Language Games Based on the Edexcel specification and the Religious Language anthology (university symposium between Flew, Hare and Mitchell) with an additional quiz on early and late Wittgenstein thrown in. Worked well in my classes - enjoy!

Various retrieval and recap quizzes, Eduqas A level Christianity. Suitable for other boards too: Baptism Trinity Death and resurrection Feminist views of God Made with mini whiteboard plenaries in mind. Have worked well for me; enjoy!

A level Metaethics. A retrieval quiz, 10 questions, covering key terms and scholars (naturalism, intuitionism, emotivism, prescriptivism).

Suitable for self - learning and progression into A level RS, a booklet with a two hour section on each of Philosophy of Religion, Religion (Christianity) and Ethics. All resources mentioned in the tasks are available for free, including the Ethics book. All the links work and each section directly relates to A level course of study (most suitable for Eduquas and Edexcel exam boards). With thanks to Nikki McGee on Save RE who inspired the format and task 2.

Explains God’s omnibonevolence, with Scriptural support, and then the Euthypro challenge. Use of Abraham’s sacrifice of Isaac and the Amalekite genocide as specific examples of possible arbitrary and tyrannical divine commands. Humanist and religious response given.

The new Edexcel specification asks for 'biblical examples of situationist teaching, such as illustrated in the ministry of Jesus' (page 21). This is my attempt at fleshing that out! Good for synoptic links between NT and Ethics papers.

Background to the Fourth Gospel. Deals with authorship, dating, fragmentary evidence (very briefly!) Useful before diving into the Prologue.

Year 1 Edexcel New Testament. Considers the background of the Persian Empire, the Greek overthrow and the division of the Empire post - Alexander. Also deals with Maccabean revolt and invasion of Rome.

Advanced articles, relevant for topics 3, 4 and 6 of Edexcel's New Testament Studies unit (paper 3). The approach of the radical Jesus Seminar is laid out by its founder, and contrasts with the conservative evangelical approach of Michael Bird.

A brief powerpoint and research activity focussed on the benefits and challenges that Roman occupation brought to the world of the first century. Activity is running a campaign to challenge the Judean People's Front! (or, should that be the People's Front of Judea?!)

Intended for Edexcel new spec Topic 1.2 of Paper 3 - New Testament. Exploring the social, economic and geographical context of the events of the Gospels. As yet untested on an actual class - feedback welcome!

A brief powerpoint exploring the doctrine of divine simplicity - does God have parts? What implications does this idea have for discussion of such attributes as omniscience, omnipotence, eternality?

I have turned some of the work of Rev. Dr Thomas Williams' entry on Anselm in the SEP into a handout. Focusses on how Anselm develops his discussions of God's impassibility, timelessness and simplicity, from his several statements of the ontological argument in Proslogion 2 and 3. Actually not as complex as it sounds! Full article found at http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/anselm/

First published by the Christian Medical Fellowship in 1995, and written by a consultant gynaecologist, this piece is a very thoughtful exploration of the different ethical issues raised by various forms of contraception. Not from a Catholic viewpoint, but it explains the papal views on the issues and provides a helpful medical background to the risks of some contraceptive pills, especially in the 1950s. Clear explanations of 'the subtleties of contraception' including the differing effectiveness of hormonal contraceptives on younger and older women. Links to further reading in the bibliography.

Powerpoint introduction to the Goodness of God topic. Basis of God's goodness in his character and divine simplicity. Introduction to what 'good' means for God through the Euthyphro Dilemma, and examination of two difficult texts - Abraham's call to sacrifice Isaac, and the Amalekite genocide of 1 Samuel 15. Views of Professors William Lane Craig, William Darwall, Richard Dawkins and Dr Tim Keller summarised or linked to. Includes several Youtube clips and links to wider reading.

Powerpoint explaining key Christian views on resurrection, using biblical passages and images. The timeline of the first and second resurrections explained, plus the nature of the resurrection body and what the disembodied soul is like before resurrection (Tertullian's traducianism and Aquinas' creationism of the soul are summarised). Starter activity using a popular Christian song, with an evocative video - students to analyse lyrics and explain symbolism used. Links to other syllabus areas e.g. is eternal punishment fair? How can Heaven be perfect if there is something that the disembodied soul is waiting for in it?

Powerpoint covering life after death in Christian belief. Slides explain the nature of the resurrection body, the experience of heaven (and hell); the reason why Christians believe in resurrection, and more. Bible quotes and links to more advanced websites. Starter is a Christian song with a memorable video - students to analyse lyrics and explain the symbolism of the clothes worn etc.

Many students struggle with the idea of truth in myth. These two resources explore how Marvel/ DC 'superhero' movies act as modern day myths, dealing with purpose, injustice, hope, etc. Second resource links this to Christianity - explores how C.S. Lewis was convinced by J.R.R. Tolkien that Christianity was a 'true myth'.

Gives a brief intro to myth and then to Bultmann, focussing on his desire to strip away 'peripheral legends' and discover the 'Christ of faith' through demythologising the Gospel texts.
