Here is my list of possible future exam questions on this area of the specification. You should plan answers to these questions carefully and practise writing one or two. It’s highly likely that a question on this area of the specification will be close to one of these. If you need further help, or require regular tuition, please contact me – I have online tutors ready and able to help now at a fair hourly rate. I will be posting at least one fully marked answer on the website during the autumn.

1. Assess the view that Augustine’s teaching on human nature is too pessimistic
2. Critically assess the view that Christian teaching on human nature can only make sense if the Fall did actually happen
3. “Augustine’s teaching on human nature is more harmful than helpful”. Discuss.
4. How convincing is Augustine’s teaching about the Fall and Original Sin?
5. Critically assess Augustine’s analysis of human sexual nature
