Open guideRelationships and families
Sex, contraception, marriage, divorce, families and gender — Christian and Muslim teachings applied to the lives examiners actually ask about.
Religion and life
Origins of the universe and life, the environment, animals, abortion, euthanasia and death — sanctity of life meeting quality of life.
Peace and conflict
Peace, justice, forgiveness, Just War, jihad, pacifism and nuclear weapons — when, if ever, religious ethics allow organised killing.
Crime and punishment
Why people offend, what punishment is for, and how Christian and Muslim teachings judge prison, reform and the death penalty.
12-mark questions in GCSE RS
AQA-style GCSE Religious Studies 12-markers: evaluate this statement, arguments for and against, named teachings, a judged conclusion, timing, and what a top-band (Band 5) answer actually looks like.
Just War and pacifism
GCSE Religious Studies on Just War and pacifism: Augustine and Aquinas’ conditions, Quaker peace testimony, and how ummah and lesser jihad contrast without turning the page into a terrorism essay.
Abortion and the sanctity of life
GCSE Religious Studies on abortion: imago Dei, Islamic ensoulment diversity, UK law, and why situation ethics and Catholic teaching collide over whose life counts, when.
The death penalty in GCSE RS
GCSE Religious Studies on capital punishment: Exodus versus Jesus, utilitarian deterrence claims, UK abolition, and Islamic hudud and qisas diversity — justice without a tabloid.
Marriage and divorce in GCSE RS
GCSE Religious Studies on marriage and divorce: sacrament versus nikah as contract, ummah and family duty, Catholic indissolubility, and how changing UK law (no-fault, same-sex marriage) meets those teachings.
