In this unit, pupils examine some issues within and between the Jewish, Christian and Muslim religions. These issues are brought into focus by learning about these three religions in the city of Jerusalem through history and today. Pupils develop their understanding of how religious beliefs are worked out in practice, and study ideas about peace in the three religions and what members of the religions have to do with each other and the community. Pupils understand similarities between religions and the distinctive features of each, and begin to form ideas about religion, toleration and harmony. These ideas can be applied to inter-faith issues in the UK today, providing pupils with opportunities for spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. The unit encourages pupils to examine and reflect on their own attitudes to those with religious beliefs different to their own, and so facilitates learning from religion.
This unit is expected to take approximately 7 hours.
