(c) (i) Explain, from either Catholic Christianity and Judaism or two Christian traditions, teachings about the origins of the universe.
 Catholics read the Bible as an inspired text which had real human authors, so they do not read the Creation accounts literally  Catholics read the creation stories as inspired poems/metaphors/myths about the relationship between God the creator and God’s creation  Catholics believe that God is the ultimate creator but that this is compatible with a belief in the ‘Big Bang’ and evolution.

(2)(c) (i) Explain, from either Catholic Christianity and Judaism or two Christian traditions, teachings about the origins of the universe.
 Some Christians read the Bible as an inspired text, every word of which is literally true, so they do read the Creation accounts literally  Some read the creation stories as scientific or historical descriptions of the beginning of the universe  Some reject the idea of a Big Bang and evolution and believe that God created the world in six days  Some believe the universe is only about 6,000 years old.

(3)(c) (i) Explain, from either Catholic Christianity and Judaism or two Christian traditions, teachings about the origins of the universe.
 Some Orthodox Jews believe the creation accounts are literal descriptions of the origins of the universe.  Prayers are said in Orthodox synagogues expressing this belief ‘Blessed be He who spoke and the world existed.’  Other Jewish denominations believe that the creation accounts are metaphorical stories which shouldn’t be considered as historical facts.  For all Jews, God is the source of all life and referred to throughout the Torah as the sole creator.

(ii) Explain, from either Catholic Christianity and Judaism or two Christian traditions, how the Bible is interpreted.
 Catholics read the Bible as an inspired text which means that God worked through human authors to be revealed to human beings.  They also believe that these authors were of course fully human and therefore limited in their understanding and living in a particular time and place.  For Catholics, the truth revealed in the Bible needs to be carefully and authoritatively interpreted by the Church/Magisterium
