There are two very distinct areas of study

Each Module will generate 50% of the AS final mark. Each module will be assessed by an examination (1 hour 20 minutes).

Candidates will be expected to answer one question from two in Section A of the exam paper and one question from two in Section B of the exam paper.

All the questions in Section A will be of the traditional nature, but all questions in Section B of each paper will involve relating the question asked to specified human experience.

Please note that there no longer a Coursework element to AS Religious Studies. Instead the human experiences will be examined through the study of four areas of the Course. These areas are clearly identified in each course outline.

AS 1 Introduction to the Gospel of Luke

Studies will centre around:

Background to the Gospel of Luke

Introduction to the Gospel of Luke (Human Experience will not be examined through this area of study)

Selective narratives in Luke's Gospel

Words (Parables) of Jesus

Deeds (Miracles) of Jesus

AS 4 Early Christian Church

Studies will centre around:

The Expansion of Christianity

Church Government

Persecution

Constantine

Early Christian Thought

Although this school has chosen these two areas of content (AS1 and AS4) for study, there is a wide choice ranging
from an Introduction to Old Testament Prophecy to an Introduction to the Study of Islam.

The full Specification can be viewed at the CCEA Religious Studies Microsite
