Unit 8B: What does the Resurrection of Jesus mean for Christians today?

QCA
About this unit

This unit looks at the ways in which Christians today find meanings, hopes and challenges in the New Testament Gospel accounts and stories of Jesus, particularly those associated with Easter and the Resurrection. The unit encourages pupils to examine and reflect on other sources of human meaning, challenge and hope in the light of their study of elements of the Christian tradition, and so facilitates learning from religion.

This unit structure could be applied to studies of other stories and festivals from different religious traditions, focusing on contemporary celebrations and their meaning and importance to believers/adherents.

This unit is expected to take approximately 7 hours, plus homework/private study.
