RELIGION and SOCIETY Past questions
SECTION 1 Religion and Social responsibility
Note: you don’t need to talk about Islam for this section, but you should refer to Christianity and learn and use Bible quotes. Remember there is not one Christian view on any issue, so try to sort out Roman Catholic and Protestant views , and also liberal, conservative and fundamentalist views eg of the Bible and its authority. These are either/or questions as you only do one question per question, but have a choice of two. Of course for practice you can try both a question 3 and 4 from any year: every year the paper will be a new mix of themes in parts b and c. Try to do them in timed conditions and spend about the number of minutes per marks, with one good point earning 2 marks (so 6 mark questions, three good points etc).
