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 in this section on the website during the autumn.

The following question was asked in the sample paper 2017. As this question cannot recur in this form, I have not included it in my list of potential future questions.

Critically assess Bonhoeffer’s teaching on duty to the state and to God. (OCR sample paper 2017)

In June 2018 the examiner set this question:

‘Bonhoeffer’s theology is still relevant today.’ Discuss. (OCR June 2018)

1. “Using the will of God as a guide for moral behaviour is impractical, as in most circumstances it is impossible to know what God wants us to do.” Discuss.
2. To what extent, if at all, does the theology of Bonhoeffer have relevance for Christians today?
3. “Bonhoeffer’s most important teaching is on leadership.” Discuss.
4. “Christian ethics means being obedient to God’s will.” Discuss.
5. To what extent was Bonhoeffer’s religious community at Finkenwalde successful?
