This Religion and worldviews video supports teachers delivering a unit that explores how beliefs about Jesus vary within and across the Abrahamic religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam. It highlights how each worldview traces its origins to Abraham, creating overlapping scriptures and shared figures, including Jesus. The video outlines how Jesus is viewed in different ways: as a prophet in Islam, a teacher or historical figure in Judaism, and the incarnate son of God and saviour in Christianity. It explores how sacred texts like the Torah, Bible and Qur’an present these views and how interpretation varies across denominations and traditions.

This video is part of Kapow Primary’s Religion and worldviews resources – Jesus. It prepares teachers to guide respectful, informed discussions about similarities and differences in belief. Teachers are supported in addressing misconceptions, such as the idea that all religious groups agree on Jesus’ identity, and are encouraged to use inclusive language that reflects diversity of belief. The video also explores cultural depictions of Jesus and encourages critical thinking about representation. Teachers are reminded to use age-appropriate stories, visual aids and questioning techniques to help pupils explore the complex and varied beliefs surrounding one of the most influential figures in religious history.
