About Philosophy of Religion
GoConqr OriginalWhat this unit page covers
The resources here were made by GoConqr users and sit in the Philosophy of Religion strand of Religion and theology. They gather around a few big themes: the nature of God, arguments for God's existence, evil and suffering, religious experience, religious language, miracles and life after death. Several resources mention GCSE Religious Studies, GCSE Religious Education, OCR AS Religious Studies and A-level Religious Studies, including OCR A-level.
Where to start
Begin with the mind map The Problem of Evil. It separates the logical problem from the evidential problem, so you see the shape of the topic before the detail. Then move to the Evaluation of Augustine's Theodicy mind map, which sets out points from Brian Davies and Plantinga for and against Augustine.
If you are on a GCSE course, the GCSE RELIGIOUS STUDIES mind map is a good first stop. It lists key words such as omnibenevolence and the idea of God as transcendent, creator and judge.
Using maps, flashcards and quizzes together
- Read a mind map to get the outline of a topic.
- Go through a flashcard deck such as The Problem of Evil: Key Words, which covers terms like theodicy, moral evil, natural evil and privatio boni.
- Learn the sources with Existence of God and Revelation quotes, which gathers lines from Genesis, Psalms and the Quran alongside Aquinas.
- Test yourself with a quiz, such as Religious Experience Edexcel A Level or PROBLEM OF EVIL Paper 1.2 Good and Evil.
Wrong answers show you which map or deck to go back to.
Other topics to explore
Mind maps on Religious Language cover Aquinas and analogy, including attribution and proportion. Several Religious Experiences maps look at types such as mystical, numinous, corporate and conversion experiences, with figures like William James, Teresa of Avila and Julian of Norwich. There are also resources on miracles, the human situation and life after death. Teachers can use the slide sets, such as Divine Attributes of God, as ready-made starting points for lessons.

Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
Start with the The Problem of Evil mind map. It splits the topic into the logical and evidential problems, which gives you a clear frame. After that, the Evaluation of Augustine's Theodicy mind map shows how thinkers such as Brian Davies and Plantinga respond.
Which exams do these resources suit?
The listed resources mention GCSE Religious Studies, GCSE Religious Education, OCR AS Religious Studies, A-level Religious Studies and OCR A-level Religious Studies. Check the title and content of each one against your own course before relying on it.
Are the resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr. A free account also saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.
What do the religious experience resources cover?
The Religious Experiences mind maps cover definitions and types, including scriptural, mystical, numinous, corporate, charismatic and conversion experiences, plus prayer experiences. They name William James, Teresa of Avila and Julian of Norwich. The Religious Experience Edexcel A Level quiz tests Swinburne and Schleiermacher.
What can I use to learn key terms?
Try the flashcard deck The Problem of Evil: Key Words for terms like theodicy and moral evil. Existence of God Keywords and Belief in God Key Words are also listed. Use them after a mind map so the vocabulary has context.
What if the topic I need is missing?
Look through the related titles on the page first, since topics such as miracles, life after death and the human situation appear under several names. If nothing fits, you can build your own mind map, flashcards or quiz for that topic.
