Unit 7B: What does justice mean to Christians?

QCA
About this unit

In this unit pupils learn about significant figures in the Christian religion who taught about justice, including Jesus and St Paul. Using a variety of written and visual sources, they learn about ways in which key leaders make important contributions to the faith. The unit provides opportunities for pupils to examine and reflect on the issues of justice. They develop their understanding of Christian sacred text. Pupils evaluate the influence of leaders for Christians today, and consider questions about their own experience of influence, leadership and inspiration. Considering issues of justice for themselves can promote pupils' spiritual and moral development. This unit's structure could be applied to studies of other significant religious figures in any world religion.

This unit is expected to take approximately 7 hours.
