Use this paper to practise authentic GCSE Religious Studies exam skills under timed conditions, including topics such as atonement, the Trinity, the Incarnation, free will, evil and suffering, the death penalty, forgiveness, justice, the persecuted Church, evangelical work, Christmas, Just War theory, passive resistance, peacemaking, and forgiveness in conflict situations. The paper includes structured 3-mark, 4-mark, 5-mark, 12-mark, and 15-mark evaluation questions designed to improve theological understanding, Biblical analysis, ethical reasoning, and essay-writing skills. Students are required to evaluate arguments for and against statements such as “Free will solves the problem of evil and suffering,” “Justice is the best way to show love to others,” “Christmas has lost its real meaning,” and “Forgiveness is the most important part of peacemaking,” making this paper especially valuable for developing critical thinking, balanced evaluation, and extended-response exam technique before the 2026 GCSE exams.
