Faith and Focus - Episode 13 - Theme D

In this powerful episode of Faith and Focus, we explore Theme D: Religion, Peace and Conflict from the AQA GCSE Religious Studies syllabus.

We break down key concepts such as the just war theory, holy war, pacifism, and the causes of conflict—including greed, self-defence, and retaliation. We examine Christian teachings about peace and forgiveness, and how believers respond to issues of violence and reconciliation.

You'll hear important scripture references, learn how religious teachings guide views on war, and gain insight into real-life examples of peace-making efforts. We also tackle a 12-mark evaluation question using the ACE ACE JC format, helping you boost your exam technique and deepen your analysis.

Whether you're revising or reviewing, this episode is packed with clear explanations and exam-focused advice to help you succeed.
