Fascinating Fact:

The four Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, tell the story of Jesus’ teaching, miracles, and final days.

In KS3 Religious Education, pupils explore Christianity by learning how the Bible is organised, who wrote its different books, and how Christians use it in worship and everyday life.

  • Old Testament: The first part of the Bible, containing Jewish law, history, poetry, and prophecy written before the time of Jesus.
  • New Testament: The second part of the Bible, focusing on Jesus, his followers, and the early Christian Church.
  • Gospel: A New Testament book that gives an account of the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus.
