Question
How does evidence shape Christianity?
Answer
Narrative sequence: answer How does evidence shape Christianity by focusing on Part one: Medicine stands still. Use the chronology of AA Britain: Health and the people: c1000 to the present day, select named evidence connected to Study medical progress, including Christianity's contribution to medical progress and treatment, hospitals, Islamic medicine and surgery, and medieval surgery ideas and techniques, and order events accurately, show movement from one development to the next, and avoid jumping chronology. End by answering the command word directly.
Explanation
This exam-style task requires a developed historical argument rather than a list of facts. Begin with the relevant period from Paper 2 Section A: Thematic studies, then anchor the answer in Part one: Medicine stands still. The evidence should connect to Study medical progress, including Christianity's contribution to medical progress and treatment, hospitals, Islamic medicine and surgery, and medieval surgery ideas and techniques and be explained through cause, consequence, change, continuity, significance or interpretation as appropriate. A strong final judgement shows why the selected evidence is more convincing than a vague or unsupported claim.
Common mistake
Avoid confusing Christianity
A common mistake is to write about Christianity as a general opinion, or to mix up cause, consequence, change and continuity in c1000 to the present day.
Anchor the answer to Part one: Medicine stands still, use precise evidence, and state whether Christianity is a cause, consequence, change, continuity or significant development.
