predictions please

This is the list that my teacher predicted for dialogues:

Christianity and philosophy:
God
Self, life, death and afterlife
Sources of wisdom and authority
Religious experience
Religion and science
Truth claims of other religions
Miracles

Christianity and ethics:
Deontological ethics
Telegram and consequential ethics
Character based ethics
Weather Christian ethics are deontological/teleological/character based
Ethics applications
Wealth, tolerance and freedom of religious expressions

I’m guessing since character based ethics and free will already came up in paper 1, it won’t come up in paper 2. My teacher was wrote about paper 1 predictions so he could be wrote again. Take this with a grain of salt though.

Nope, it is a white long prediction lost but he missed out all the design arguments (came up for the past few years so unlikely for it to come up), he also missed out sexuality, religious expressions, religious identity, purpose and meaning of life, justifications, secularisation and some others that I cba to list out

Don’t have any, sorry, but I’m guessing probably something about unity of purpose/essence, trinity, beliefs about the afterlife being physical/spiritual/psychological, and justification will come up in some way. This is just a guess btw

God

•

self, death and the afterlife

Wait so is that the whole spec for dialogues (what you sent)? Cause then where’s the ethics part, that’s where I’m confused. And it’s too close to exam time for you to be confusing me 😔

no sorry! thats just the philosophy part. what your teacher has told you is entirely correct, here is the ethics part of the spec.

•

Christian responses to the following approaches to moral decision-making in the light of key Christian moral principles:

•

deontological, with reference to Kant.

•

teleological and consequential, with reference to Bentham.

•

character based, with reference to virtue ethics.

•

How far Christian ethics can be considered to be deontological, teleological, consequential, or character based.

•

Christian responses to: the issues of human life and death and issues of animal life and death prescribed for study; theft and lying; marriage; homosexuality and transgender issues; genetic engineering.

•

Christian responses to issues surrounding wealth, tolerance and freedom of religious expression.

•

Christian understandings of free will and moral responsibility, and the value of conscience in Christian moral decision-making.

(which is basically exactly what your teacher said. what I was trying to get across is that they aren't predictions, its just everything that can come up!)

How did everyone find it

I thought a lot of the questions were worded in a way that made them quite hard to write full essays about (like the ordination and liberation ones) and on the other hand, the judgement one was so vague that I didn't have a clue what the q actually wanted from me tbh my answer was all over the place

apart from that I think the dialogues qs were good, I wasn't expecting kant to come up again and marriage is a bit awkward but there's always a lot of stuff to write abt so I think it was fine

I think paper 1 was easily better overall though
