Key Words
I am slowly uploading all the key words as flash cards on an excellent site that I have found called Quizlet. You can practice your words, then test yourself, and they seem to really work. I now know that the capital of Alaska is Juneau, which I’ll probably never forget after having a go with another set of cards. You can also sign up and create your own flashcards for any subject that you need to learn either key words for, or you could just make them questions and answers.

Year 11 – Unit C
C1 Believing in God – Click here for a variety of games to test these words.

Year 11 – Week 8
During lessons last week, I did not hand out the exam questions, but instead set the homework as revision for this week’s end of unit assessment. The homework this week, therefore, will be to complete the set of exam questions as set for last week.
In the meantime, the key words that you need to know can be downloaded here, from the Edexcel website.
The words are:
agnosticism – not being sure whether God exists
atheism – believing that God does not exist
benevolent – the belief that God is good/kind
causation – the idea that everything has been caused (started off) by something else
conversion – when someone’s life is changed by giving themselves to God
design – when things are connected and seem to have a purpose (eg the eye is designed for seeing)
miracle – something which seems to break a law of science and for which God seems the only explanation
moral evil – actions done by humans which cause suffering
natural evil – things which cause suffering but which have nothing to do with humans eg earthquakes
numinous – the feeling of the presence of something greater than you eg in a church or looking up at the stars
omnipotent – the belief that God is all-powerful
omniscient – the belief that God knows everything that has happened and everything that will happen
prayer – an attempt to communicate with God, usually through prayer
Year 10 – Week 8
This week you will have your first end of unit assessment. So your homework will be to revise what we have studied so far, in particular the key words. So, to help you, I will list the key words below! (These definitions are taken from the older version of our textbook. Other definitions will also be accepted! All key words can be downloaded here, from the Edexcel website.)
Christ – the Messiah / the Anointed One
Crucifixion – the Roman death penalty suffered by Jesus when he was nailed to the cross
Dove – when used of the Holy Spirit, it implies an overshadowing by God, and sometimes peace
Faith – our attitude in the presence of someone, or some event, whose goodness and greatness and wonder is greater than we can fully grasp, describe or explain
Fire – when used of the Holy Spirit, it implies purifying power
Forgiveness – the willingness in the face of even great wrong deliberately done to us to seek no revenge and to take the first step in healing the relationship
Incarnation – the conviction that Jesus is God and fully a member of the human race
Monotheism – belief in one God
Reconciliation – bringing together those who were bitterly divided
Repentance – a willingness to be changed profoundly in feelings, heart and mind
