Existence of God Stretch Challenge Booklet

About this resource

The Existence of God Stretch Challenge Booklet is a GCSE Religious Studies revision resource designed to support secondary teachers and students in developing deeper critical thinking and exam skills. Focused on philosophical and theological issues, the booklet contains challenge activities that require students to analyse and evaluate arguments for and against the existence of God. Topics include classic philosophical arguments such as the Cosmological Argument, Teleological (Design) Argument, and debates around evil and suffering, as well as different forms of revelation and religious experience.

For teachers, this resource provides ready‑made stretch and challenge tasks suitable for classroom lessons, independent study, or targeted revision sessions. The activities promote extended writing, structured evaluation, and application of religious and non‑religious perspectives — skills essential for higher‑mark questions in GCSE exams. Ideal for students aiming for top grades, the booklet enhances revision by encouraging thoughtful argumentation, deeper understanding, and confidence in applying complex ideas to exam scenarios.
