Sample questions from Christianity: Equality
Answer each one closed book first, then open the answer.
-
Christian teaching on human rights
What does Proverbs 14:31 teach?
Show the answer
Proverbs 14:31 says whoever oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker. Whoever is kind to the needy honours God. -
Christian attitudes to equality
How does Genesis 1:27 support Christian belief in equality?
Show the answer
Every human being is made in the image of God. All people therefore share equal worth. -
Christian attitudes to religious freedom
Why do Christians support religious freedom?
Show the answer
Christians believe faith must be freely chosen to be genuine. Forcing belief on anyone is disrespect for their God-given freedom. -
Christian attitudes to prejudice and discrimination
What do Christians teach about prejudice and discrimination?
Show the answer
Christians teach that prejudice and discrimination are sins against people made in God's image. Jesus welcomed outsiders and challenged prejudice. -
Christian attitudes to racial harmony and the work of Desmond Tutu
How might situation ethics support racial harmony?
Show the answer
Situation ethics asks what the most loving action is. Treating people of all races as equals is always the loving choice. -
Christian attitudes to racial discrimination
How does racial discrimination cause problems in society?
Show the answer
Racial discrimination denies people jobs, housing and fair treatment. Racial discrimination creates division, anger and sometimes violence. -
Christian attitudes to social justice
How does the Parable of the Sheep and the Goats teach social justice?
Show the answer
Jesus identifies himself with the hungry, the stranger and the prisoner. Neglecting them is neglecting Christ, so society must meet their needs. -
Christian attitudes to wealth and poverty
What are some causes of poverty worldwide?
Show the answer
Causes of world poverty include war, debt, unfair trade and natural disasters. Corruption and lack of education also play a part.

How the guide is worked
Answering a question from memory stores it far better than reading the answer again. The guide runs that as a fixed procedure on one subtopic at a time, about twenty minutes a session.
-
Step 1 · Closed book
Cover the answers. Work through one subtopic and write down what you can. Leave blanks where you have nothing.
-
Step 2 · Open book
Go back to the top. Read each printed answer and write it out in full, including the ones you had right.
-
Step 3 · Closed book again
Same questions, same order, from memory. The gap between pass one and pass three is the session result.
Read the full method, the return schedule and the research behind it.
