GCSE Religious Studies Revision Guide
The aim of this guide is to help you revise and improve your exam skills so that you gain the highest possible grade. You should read the section on exam questions and techniques so that you know what type of questions are asked by AQA and what sort of answers are expected.
You should then work through the 2 sections of this booklet, using your exercise books and the kerboodle online textbook to help you.
Exam Questions and Techniques
The exam paper is divided into 2 sections and lasts for 1 hour & 45 minutes (for Catholic Christianity and Judaism papers together)
In each section of the paper you will have to answer one 5 part question:
Section One: Roman Catholic Beliefs
Section Two: Roman Catholic Practices
Types of questions All the questions have part (1) for 1 mark, part (2) for 2 marks, part (3) for 4 marks, part (4) for 5 marks and part (5) for 12 marks.
Part (1) questions These questions will be multiple choice and worth one mark. You simply have to choose the correct answer.
Part (2) questions These questions are worth two marks and the buzz words will be ‘give/state two.’ For this you simply have to state two things (two words is fine/bullet points).
Part (3) questions These questions are worth 4 marks. The buzz words here are ‘explain two’. For this you are required to give two developed points, each in its own paragraph. (a good way to develop a point is to link it to an example – Point Evidence Explain). Part (4) questions These questions are worth 5 marks. Again the buzz words are ‘explain two’. To get the 5 marks you have to give two developed points with reference to Jewish teaching for the fifth mark. Again, your points should be in separate paragraphs.
Part (5) questions Question 5: these are your AO2 questions and here you are required to evaluate. You will always be given a statement and underneath this it will ask you to evaluate it. In your answers you should:
• Give developed arguments to support the statement • Give developed arguments to support a different point of view • Refer to Catholic Christian teaching • Reach a justified conclusion
For this we would look for you to give two reasons for (2 PEE points), two reasons against (2 PEE points) and a personal conclusion with one PEE point. Your reference to Catholic teaching should be incorporated into your paragraphs. This question is worth 12 marks and in the beliefs section there are 3 possible SPAG marks available.
REMEMBER
There are some useful websites listed on Show My Homework which will allow you to watch videos about many of the set topics (including Judaism and
Themes papers).
REMEMBER
Don’t wait for your teacher to set you exam questions. Keep practising at home and handing them in for
marking to help you improve.

What happens on the 7th day in Genesis 1?
This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, when the LORD God made the earth and the heavens. Now no shrub had yet appeared on the earth and no plant had yet sprung up, for the LORD God had not sent rain on the earth and there was no one to work the ground, but streams came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground. Then the LORD God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being. Now the LORD God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed. The LORD God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground—trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The LORD God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it. And the LORD God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.” The LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” Now the LORD God had formed out of the ground all the wild animals and all the birds in the sky. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds in the sky and all the wild animals. But for Adam no suitable helper was found. So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs and then closed up the place with flesh. Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. The man said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’ for she was taken out of man.” That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh. Adam and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame. GENESIS 2:4-25
Omnipotent means….
Transcendent means …..
God is shown as omnipotent in Genesis 1 & 2 because …..
God is shown as transcendent in Genesis 1 & 2 because …..

“The earth was here before us and it has been given to us ….(there is) a relationship of mutual responsibility between human beings and nature….the responsibility for God’s earth means that human beings … must respect the
laws of nature” Pope Francis in Laudato Si
CC page 14
MEMORY POINT: THERE ARE DIFFERENT CHRISTIAN VIEWS/INTERPRETATIONS OF THE CREATION ACCOUNTS IN GENESIS.
(CC Page 24/25) Fundamentalists do not believe the Bible should be interpreted and should be taken literally. This is because ……..
Many Christians, including Catholics don’t believe that the Bible should be taken literally, and believe the Creation stories are …….
“Creation continued for …millennia… until it became which we know today, precisely because God is not … a conjurer, but the Creator who gives being
to all things. The beginning of the world is not the work of chaos … but derives directly from a supreme Origin that creates out of love. The Big
Bang…does not contradict the divine act of creating, but rather requires it. The evolution of nature does not contrast with the idea of Creation, as
evolution presupposes the creation of beings that evolve” Pope Francis 2014
List the ways locally, nationally and globally that Catholics can show stewardship
CAFOD focuses on sustainability as a form of stewardship. Using CC p.32/33 explain what sustainability is and how CAFOD show this in their actions.
INCARNATION
MEMORY POINT: As Christians we are taught about the meaning and importance of the incarnation in the three gospel accounts of Matthew, Luke and John.
Incarnation means
Annunciation means
Why is the presence of the angel significant?
Who else is this message directed at?
(Think about God’s covenant with the Jews)

Name and explain three times in the gospels when Jesus appears fully God
1. 2. 3.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind 14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. (John 1:1-4, 14)
REDEMPTION
Although Jesus was the Son of God he suffered as a human through his crucifixion before rising to life. By accepting death on the cross, Jesus was fulfilling Old Testament prophecies. Even when he was suffering he forgave his executioners and promised the thief who admitted his wrongdoing that he would join Jesus in heaven.
Jesus’ death was important because:
1. The sky turned dark in the middle of the day and there was an earthquake. This signified that ….
2. In the Temple in Jerusalem the curtain that separated holiest part from the rest tore from top to bottom. This signified that ….
3. Water and blood flowed from the side of Christ where he was pierced. This signifies ….
One of Jesus’ followers placed his body in a tomb. In the Apostles’ Creed we read that Jesus then ‘descended into hell’. For Christians, this act of Jesus shows that God is with
them even in death. Nothing can separate them from the love of God.
Redemption means
Atonement means
“Christ our Redeemer, chose the Cross so as to bear the guilt of the world”

THE WORK OF THE CHURCH
Christians are taught to love their neighbour. This can be shown in many ways today, and is at the root of Catholic Social Teaching (CST).
What does Gaudium et Spes (a document issued by the Catholic Church during Vatican II) tell us about Catholic Social Teaching and the treatment of others? Read the phrases below and explain how they help Catholics understand their responsibility to the poor.
1. What did Jesus mean by neighbour?
2. What is the message Jesus is teaching in the Parable of the Sheep and the Goats?
3. Give examples of the ways Christians could help ‘neighbour’ in today’s world.
Catholic Social Teaching is the body of doctrine developed by the Catholic Church
on matters of social justice, involving issues of poverty and wealth, economics, social organization and the role of the state.
“Every social group must take account of the needs and legitimate aspirations of other groups, and even of the general welfare of the entire human family.”
“There must be made available to all men everything necessary for leading a life truly
human, such as food, clothing, and shelter” GAUDIUM ET SPES 26
THE PARABLE OF THE SHEEP & THE GOATS
When the Son of Man comes in glory, he will sit on his __________________. All nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a __________________ separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
The King will say to those on his right: ‘Come and possess the Kingdom which has been prepared for you, because I was hungry and you _______ me, __________________and you gave me a drink; I was a stranger and you took me into your__________________, Naked and you clothed me; I was sick and you took care of me, In prison and you __________________ me’; The righteous will ask, ‘When did we do all these things?’
The __________________ will reply, ‘I tell you, whenever you did this for the least important of these members of my __________________ , you did it for me.’
Then the King will say to those on his __________________: ‘Depart from me into the eternal fire prepared by the __________________, because I was __________________ and you gave me nothing to eat, Thirsty and you gave me nothing to __________________; I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, __________________ and you did not clothe me; I was __________________ and in prison and you did not take care of me’; They will ask, ‘When did not __________________ you?’
The King will reply, ‘I tell you, whenever you did not do this for the least important of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did not do it for me.’ They will go to eternal __________________and the righteous to eternal life.

1. What is justice? Give an example of how Catholics might put this into action.
2. What is peace? Give an example of how Catholics might put this into action.
3. What is reconciliation? Give an example of how Catholics might put this into action.

“It is my duty to build bridges and to help all men and women, in any way possible, to do the same …. The contemporary world, with its open wounds which affect so many
of our brothers and sisters, demands that we confront every form of polarisation which would
divide it … into two camps.”
How do Pope Francis’ words support the idea(s) above?
Many Catholic charities seek to put into action Jesus’ teachings, especially those telling us to help the disadvantaged. As it says in 1 John:
Make notes/highlight the notes on the charities below and how/who they help.
CAFOD (Christianity page 62/62 or CC page 165)
TROCAIRE was established by the Catholic Church in 1973 as a way for Irish people to donate to development and emergency relief overseas. Their ideal is to support the most vulnerable people in the developing world, while also raising awareness of injustice and global poverty in Ireland. They provide humanitarian assistance and long-term support to communities in over 20 countries across Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East. Each year approximately 2.6 million people directly benefited from their overseas programmes. In Ireland, they raise awareness about the root causes of poverty and inequality, and campaign on justice issues.
MISSIO Since 1922, Missio has been the Catholic Church's official charity for overseas mission. They aim to bring the hope of the Gospel where there is turmoil, poverty and uncertainty in the world, and where the Church is new, young or poor. Missio empowers local people to form and sustain communities of faith and they train future leaders so that the vital work of the Church in the world can take place. Many of the priests/religious live with and help the poor, often risking their own lives. One of the main things Missio do is to fund the training of new priests and sisters so that are more of them to help with the faith/spiritual development of Catholics. This means that in remote areas Catholics are more likely to be able to receive the Eucharist.
The Church not only helps the disadvantaged but seeks to spread the good news of Jesus to non-believers.
Mission is …
.
Evangelism is …..
Missionaries are ….
These are some of the last words that Jesus gave to his disciples,
and they sum up the mission of the Church.
This can happen locally and nationally through the Alpha course (Christianity page 55)
‘Follow me and I will make you
fishers of men’
How is the work of Missio a way of showing mission and evangelism globally?
If you have time look at the work of Catholic Mission
SVP is an international Catholic charity. It was started in 1833 by students in Paris. It has nearly 60,000 members worldwide who work in small groups at a local level. This means they are a charity that works locally.
Their main aim is to give practical help to individual people in need. SVP’s members attend local meetings that start with prayer and Bible readings.
Use CC page 135 to explain two ways SVP seek to help those in need on a local level
“May we carry gifts to the poor and, to the rich, words of gratitude.”
Blessed Frederic Ozanam - SVP’s Founder
Pax Christi was founded by Catholic Christians in France in 1945 to promote reconciliation with the German people after the Second World War. Their vision is for a world where people can live in peace, free from the fear of violence in any form. By 2015 there were over 100 Pax Christi organisations in 59 countries around the world.
Members draw strength and encouragement from the Bible and the teachings of the Catholic Church. Inspired by the teachings of Christ and the church, Pax Christi members work tirelessly for peace in their homes and families, their communities and places of work, and in the wider world. Members seek to promote peace through:
• Attending anti-war protests in major cities • Speaking out against the illicit (forbidden) arms trade by
supporting international actions to control the sale of arms • Engaging in dialogue and discussion with others • Raising awareness of human rights through letter-writing
campaigns • Giving speeches or meeting with communities and governments
where they live
‘Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children
of God.’ Matthew 5: 9
If you have time look at the work of the Corrymeela Community in Northern Ireland. What are their aims and how do they seek to promote peace?
