Why teach church history? Growth, conflicts, major figures and events of the church from Acts onwards and their impact on the present day are covered in this unit. A comprehensive understanding of the past is crucial if we are to appreciate our present world and culture.

How does Life in the Past Lane fit within a broader RE program? In this unit students discover how historical perspectives relate to the present time. Ideas conspicuous in other senior subjects—such as human rights, freedom of religion, the enlightenment and human rationalism— have a history, which is essential for students today to understand.

Unit outcomes By the end of this unit, students will be able to: • describe significant events that have changed the course of history over the past 2000 years for better or for worse • appreciate the influence of the lives and careers of certain key individuals in the history of the church • apply lessons learned to their own individual circumstances and to the world today.

Duration 10 lessons offering 1–2 terms’ worth of work.
