Investigating Christian Worldviews
This volume explores Christian worldviews, and continues our tradition of curating and creating resources that bring lived religion to the classroom, incorporating a range of ‘ways of knowing’, including disciplinary approaches:
- Infographics giving essential global and national demographic and other data on Christian affiliation and belief.
- The voices of young Christians, aged 13-31, from diverse denominations.
- Ways to think hermeneutically about the parable of the Good Samaritan.
- Theological and sociological perspectives on Pentecostal Christianity.
- Walsingham as a case study of contemporary Christian pilgrimage for exam courses.
- Data to help students understand Christian responses to abortion for GCSE/National 5s.
- An introduction to four waves of Christian feminism.
