Belief and Morality
Subjects / Religious Studies / Belief and Morality
The first chapter will look at why evil and suffering are problems for religious believers. Chapter two considers how people claim to know God through general and special revelations. Next, the third chapter examines the concept of life after death, showing how religious teachings lead people to believe that there is an afterlife. Chapter four will investigate why people do or do not believe in God. It will explain the terms theism, atheism and agnosticism. The scientific and religious versions of creation are outlined in chapters five and six. After this, sources of religious authority such as holy books, leaders, conscience, reason and tradition are explored in chapter seven. Different beliefs about God will be looked at next. Finally, in chapter nine, the terms relative and absolute morality are explained and applied to abortion and divorce.
