Christianity and Islam

The next 4 topics you will study as part of your RS course will ask you about Christian and Muslim views on a number of topics that affect people. If we are to be successful in this we need to have some understanding of the two religions.

REMEMBER - I am not asking you to believe a religion, rather to understand how religious beliefs can affect how people act and what they think is right and wrong.
