One unit, one question — asked seven ways. What do Christians mean when they call God one, omnipotent, triune, personal — and does every definition hold?
What is the nature of the Christian God — and how far can human language and doctrine capture it?
Every debate in this unit turns on a definition — of “one”, “omnipotent”, “person”, “Christian”. Pick a sub-topic, then tap a position to see what it claims and where it's strong or weak.
Tap a circle — or use Tab and Enter — to explore each position.
Top answers don't treat the three debates separately. Two ideas run through all of them — spot the thread and you're writing at the top of the mark scheme.
Every sub-topic hangs on one word — one, omnipotent, person, Christian. Nail the definition and the essay follows.
How far is God beyond us, how far with us? The tension runs through the Trinity, personal language and process theology alike.
From anthropomorphism to McFague to process thought — each asks whether human words can ever capture the divine.
The unit splits into seven sub-topics. They look different, but each is really asking what is the nature of God, and can we capture it?
Everything for the unit, in one place. Open a sub-topic's lesson, booklet and podcast, and use the Philosopher Companion across all three.
LINKS list near the bottom, and paste each SharePoint share link once. Buttons with no link show as “Link not set”.
Use your resources in this order. The Philosopher Companion is where you learn to plan both question types.
One podcast per sub-topic — a teacher and student talk each view through to a judgement. Annotate as you listen.
Read the given text, write the key claims in your own words, then decide the strength and weakness you'd give each view.
In the Companion: match each term to its meaning, then use it in a sentence. RAG-rate the mastery checklist with the three faces.
Use the Companion frameworks and the guidance-left / your-turn-right scaffolds. Never evaluate what you haven't first explained.
A full review of The Nature of God — monotheism, the attributes, the Trinity, the Son, personal language, the feminist critique and process theology. Best watched before you revise, then again to check recall.
Teacher: paste the YouTube link in the VIDEO_URL line near the bottom of this file. The player then appears here automatically.
Flip a card to check yourself. Switch between key terms (term → meaning) and views (view → claim, strength & weakness), and filter by sub-topic.
