This contains a fully resourced, differentiated lesson on the via negativa. The main part of the lesson involves a set of discussion tasks and short written tasks to understand how the via negativa works, from which they then produce fact files on how three different scholars (including Aquinas) have contributed to the argument, leading to an evaluation task where students generate their own arguments for and against the via negativa 'providing the only the true way to understand God'. Some ideas have been borrowed from other contributions on TES, to whom I am very grateful.

Fantastic! Thank you!
Your resources are really well planned and accessible. Thanks very much for sharing, it has saved me a lot of time.
Fantastically accessible resource. The AQA textbook is far too descriptive in this section and your planning allows the students to really get involved in the learning of this section of the unit. Thank you.
Excellent resource! Made sense to me as someone new to this concept (never mind teaching it!) and easily adaptable to suit the needs of my students. Many thanks! :-)
A great help thank you!
