Beliefs about sacred texts

This Religion and worldviews video introduces teachers to the unit “What is religion and how can worldviews be expressed?” and supports children in exploring beliefs about scripture across Jewish, Christian and Buddhist worldviews. It equips teachers to guide pupils in understanding the concepts of communication, revelation and value by examining how texts are treated, interpreted and used. The video explains key differences in how scriptures like the Torah, Bible and dharma texts are viewed, and supports respectful discussion about how belief in the divine, or lack of it, shapes how sacred texts are understood and used in everyday life.

This video is part of Kapow Primary’s Religion and worldviews resources – scripture. It simplifies complex ideas, ensuring teachers feel confident and prepared to help children explore belief, scripture and interpretation in the lesson and unit below.
