ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
The junior and Senior Christian Religious of Education lesson plan pamphlet was the
great idea initiated by Bernard Tito. This was done with the view of lessening the load
and time teachers get involved in preparing lesson plans every week, term, and year on
the same topics over and over. It was not an easy project, as there were challenges
experienced in terms of time, adequate research, resources and material. However, this
end product will help the teachers have less time writing and preparing for those who
wish to make some changes, as much of the work has already been done. Hence, giving
teachers ample time to study and be familiar with the content he or she will present to
the leaners prior to the actual day of lesson delivery.
It is in this vein that i would like to thank the Namwianga Mission (George Benson
Christian college of Education-GBCCE) for laying a cornerstone as a foundation for me
to build on, which I am still doing. I have no doubt that this lesson plan pamphlet will
directly or indirectly help (the leaner and the teacher) benefit them in order to enhance
good results in religious of education. .
I sincerely thank the Namwianga mission, Mr Holy commonly known as Shadrick
Sibwaalu, Mr Roy Merit, and Mr Hobby for according me a sponsorship to pursue
diploma in Mathematics and Religious of Education at George Benson Christian College
of Education (GBCCE)
I would like to thank Mr Simon Samutala the director of The Falconer Kabulamema
Children’s Orphanage Home for sponsoring my education from grade 10 to 12.
Above all, I would like to thank God almighty for the many blessings that I count.

ABOUT RELIGIOUS OF EDUCATION
The aim of Spiritual and Moral Education at junior level and Christian Religious
education at senior level is to foster the development of personally held civic, moral and
spiritual values. The learners are expected to attain a suitable level of competence in
knowledge and understanding of spiritual, religious and moral values and the
traditions within which they have developed [MOE 1996] .The appreciation of other
religions should be drawn from the four main religious traditions in Zambia, [Namely:
Christianity, Hinduism indigenous Zambian beliefs and Islam]
Values and character development occurs over a period of years and within a number of
environments. The family being the first institution one comes in contact with, the
influence of the family continues to be extremely important to a child’s character and
values development as pupils’ progress through Education.
The teaching of Christian Religious Education in schools is different from faith
development or Evangelism in churches. There is no room for Church Doctrines. The
teachers have the obligation of tackling religion from an Educational point of view. In
this way young people have the benefit of growing in faith in their churches and coming
to a deeper understanding of that commitment as they learn to express it in ways which
are intelligible even to those who belong to a different church or faith?
Christian Religious Education has a special role to play in nation-building because it
enables people to overcome the barriers of religious prejudice and to avoid bigotry and
fanatism. In order to live together in harmony, people need to or understand one
another and accept the fact that others have ways of viewing the World and God which
are fundamentally different. They need to have accurate ideas of what other people
believe and do. They must develop an attitude of openness and tolerance so that they
are ready to listen and ask questions instead of making nasty judgments based on
insufficient grounds or in accurate information.

Ways in which people develop
-Developing may be described as moving from one level to
another in a positive way.
- We develop by being with people and this happens through
interaction with people, the environment and God.
Being with other people
When children are young, they believe that their needs and
wants are the most important in the world.
-As they develop and mature, they start to understand that
other people‟s needs and wants are important too.
-Children need to interact with other people and the world

around them in order to learn these things.
- Babies and young children are used to receiving foods from
others.
-Babies also give joy and happiness to their mothers.
-They are provided with food, shelter, clothing, discipline and
knowledge by their parents, relatives and teachers.
-As children mature into adults they begin to give back to their
caregivers and they change into someone who contributes as
well as receives.
-We learn to share things such as ideas, love, food and
knowledge as we interact.
The teacher initiate
class discussion on
Ways in which
people develop
Developing with the environment
-The earth or the world consists of a variety of life. God
created all sorts of things and finally made man the head of
these things.
-Human beings do interact with plants, animals, stones and
one has to note what a plant shares with animal and shares
with a human being as they grow.
-Human being is superior to the other three things because a
human being can think, is able to choose, know and love God.
-In psalm 8, God places human above all other creatures and
appointed the rulers of these other things for the benefit of
mankind.
- Therefore, to misuse them is wrong for nature always keeps
a balance e.g. over-grazing and over-cultivating the field
makes the soil poor and less fertile.
-Water, trees, minerals and soil are the most familiar
resources for the majority of people.
-Using resources for our benefits but at the same time not
using them in such a way those future generations find nothing
for them to use
Developing with God
-Our relationship with God is a relationship that is simple
when we are young, but like all relationships, it deepens as we
mature.
-Being with God is a choice that we make along with other
choices that are available to us as we get older.
-Religions look at the attribute of God e.g. God is present
everywhere, he is all powerful, also all-knowing and he has
many more qualities in addition to the above that make people
depend on him.
-A Muslim would answer questions concerning God by using
the Quran; A Hindu would also answer questions about God
by explaining the Bhagavad Gita and Upanishads.
-A Christian looks up to God as his father. He looks up to him
for help in his needs for production, for love, for forgiveness
and for deliverance from evil.
-Augustine of Hippo, an African Christian gave a prayer “you Teacher consolidates

GROUP/CLASS
DISCUSSION
the books are grouped into two sections, namely the
Old and the New Testaments.
-The Old Testament is about life on earth before Jesus
Christ. It starts with a story of creation and ends in the
time of Maccabees. The New Testament covers the life
of Jesus Christ and the letters that the Apostles wrote
to the early churches to guide them on how to live a
Christian life.
-The purpose of the Bible is to show Christians how
they can come to know God through Jesus Christ.
- “Thy word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my
path” (Psalm 119:105). Luke 1:1-4.
The Quran and the Hadith
-God chose Muhammad to bring his massage to his
fellow tribes men that they were to reject all idols and
worship the only true God (Allah). Muslims believe
that Muhammad received revelation from God through
Angel Gabriel.
-These revelations were later written in the book called
the Quran. Muslims are taught about what is
permissible (Halaal) and not permissible (Haram),
how they should live as good Muslims, and the rewards
and punishment that await them in heaven.
-The Hadith is a record of the sayings of Muhammad.
It is the second most important book in Islam. It gives
people guidance in moral issues.
Hindu Scriptures
-The Hindu scripture is grouped into “Shruti” and
“Smriti” scriptures. The shruti scripture is made up of
sacred writings called the Vedas (which means
Knowledge) and the Upanishads.
-Hindus believe that the four Vedas are the truths of the
universe as they were understood by Hindu saints.
-The smriti scriptures are made up of stories and epic
poems. They consist of the Bhagavad Gita (The song of
the Lord), the Mahabharata and the Ramayana
Zambian Traditional Religion
-Zambian traditional religion does not have a founder
or any sacred literature. It has always been passed on
orally from the older to the younger generation.
-The elders are in absolute authority and their words
are believed. Traditions are also upheld by religious
functions and rituals and shrines.

4. Books of Poetry: these include; job, psalms,

5. Books of wisdom: these include; proverbs,

Selection of books
-A decision about which books should be included in
the Jewish scriptures was made at a meeting of Jewish
leaders in 90 AD called the council of Jamnia
- However, another group of Jewish religious leaders
wished to include more books in the Jewish scripture,
that is why some Bibles have 39 books in the Old
Testament and others have 45 books.
-The Old Testament is about the agreement between
God and the Israelites. The main theme of the Old
Testament is that God would look after the Israelites if
they obey God‟s laws. This agreement, which is also
called a “covenant”, it is stated in Deuteronomy 7:1113.
-In the Good news Bible, you find a group of books
called “Deutercanonical/Apocrypha” between the Old
and New Testament. These were not included in the
Jewish scriptures by the Jews who met at Jamnia.
-„Deuterocanonical‟ means those books of the Bible
which were later added to the canon. „Apocrypha‟
(hidden) are books of the Old Testament which are not
written in Hebrew.
-The „canon‟ is the list of the Bible books accepted by
the church.

The new Testament Books
The New Testament is about the agreement between about the New
God and people. The agreement is based on love Testament
between God and the people. This agreement is
described in John 3:16 and John 14:23.

Question and
Answer
love God.
-The books in the New Testament are the earliest
writings by Christians. There is a gap of 400year
between the end of the Old Testament and the start of
the New Testament.
-The books of the New Testament were written between
50AD and 150AD.
- There are two kinds of books in the New Testament:
a. Books of stories about Jesus and the beginning of the
Christian church (the first five books).
b. Letters of advice, teaching and encouragement
written to Christian churches. (The other 22 books).
In the New Testament there are:
-Gospels: Mathew, Mark, Like and John
-Church History: Acts of the Apostles
-Letters: from Paul, John, Peter, Jude and James
- Prophecy: Revelation
The Gospels
-The first four books in the New Testament are called
the “Gospels” which means books of good news.
-They were written to tell people good news about
Jesus Christ who had lives and died and rose to bring a
new agreement or covenant between God and his
people.
-The gospels were written to show what the Christians
believed about Jesus and to tell how Jesus had brought
God‟s kingdom.
-The stories and teachings of Jesus were first passed on
as oral traditions, and then some of them were written
down to be read in church services with the Jewish
scriptures.
-The gospels were written by Matthew, Mark, Luke and
John who were all disciples of Jesus.
-Each gospel tells the story of the life of Jesus Christ,
but each one is written for a different audience. E.g.
- Matthew wrote for his fellow Jews concentrating on
the long awaited Messiah. He showed Jesus as the new
Moses repeating the law giver of the New Testament.

Choosing Christian Scriptures
-It took the Christians Church more than 300years to
decide exactly which books to be included in the New
Testament.
-The list of 27 books was finally decided at the meeting
of church leaders called Council of Carthagein North
Africa in 397 AD.
Bible Translations
-The Old Testament books were originally written in
Hebrew and Aramaic.
-The New Testament books were originally written in
Greek, which was the common language around the
Mediterranean Sea at the time of Jesus.
-Today, the Bible has been translated into over 2000
different languages, so that most of the people could
read it.
The use of the Bible
Many of the Bible passages are plain and obvious.
However, we should not approach the Bible as if it
were an ordinary book.
-2 Timothy 3:16 says that, “for Christian the scriptures
are to be used to for teaching the truth about God, for
correcting wrong ideas about God and for showing
people how God wants them live”
Steps in understanding the Bible
There are three steps:
a) Understand

-When and where were the book or passage written
and the setting.
- Why was it written? The purpose.
-What kind of writing is in this passage: Psalm, letter,

The Quran says:
„‟show kindness to the orphans and to the needy to
your need and distant neighbours and to travellers.
God does not love proud and boastful people who
are selfish who teach others to be selfish who hide
riches which God has given them and who spend
their wealth for the sake of showing off‟‟.
 One of the main duties of Muslims is almsgiving,
which is, giving away money and property to the
poor and needy.
Co-operation in Hinduism
 Hinduism believe that each person has a duty or
way of that they are supposed to follow. E.g. a
teacher, a nurse, a priest or a parent each has to
follow his own Dharma.
 Further the other duties of a person would vary
according to his occupation, class one‟s position,
moral and spiritual development and material
status.
 Dharma includes all external deeds, as well as
thoughts and other perfection and glory.
The Bhagavad- Gita says:
 „‟There is more joy in doing one‟s duty, but doing
another person‟s duty brings fear‟‟. It is therefore
important to develop the talents which you have in
order to serve God and other people.
 Whatever the duties, they are to be performed with
Excellency and moral and spiritual purity.
 The Bhagavad - Gita says,‟‟ Let the scriptures be
the authority in determining what ought to be done
and what ought not to be done‟‟.
Zambian tradition
In Zambian tradition, cooperation is encouraged
more than competition.
This is because every society wants to live in
harmony (peace).
Examples of cooperation in Zambian tradition.
 Building houses
 Herding cattle
 Growing food crops
 Fishing and hunting
 Decorating houses
 Dancing and singing
 Funerals
 Marriages, etc.

causes of division in
the three religions
Religious divisions
1. Division in Christianity
- Christianity teaches people to love one another
however it may cause divisions among people.
Even among Christians we may see that there are
divisions, sometimes, among different
denominations. E.g. Luke12:51-53, the bible says,
„‟ Do you suppose that I came to bring peace to

on a family of five will be divided, three against
two and two against three.
-Fathers will be against their mothers, mother-inlaw be against their daughters-in-law, and
daughters-in-law against their mothers-in-law‟‟.
-From James 4:1-2 „‟where do all the fights and
quarrels among you come from? They come from
your desires for pleasure, which are constantly
fighting within you.
-You want things but you cannot have them, so you
are ready to kill. You strongly desire things but
you cannot get them, so you quarrel and fight‟‟
.
Division in the early church and the church of
today.
The letters to the churches in the New Testament
tell a lot about divisions and separation between
Christians due to the following reasons.
- Because others do not believe in God and in
Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 6:14-17).
-Because some people do not behave as Christians
should behave (1 Corinthians 5:1-2 and 9-11).
-Because different Christians follow different
leaders (1 Corinthians 1:11-13).
-Because there are different teachings about God
and Jesus (2 John 7-11).
2. Division in Hinduism

about material things, he will become attached to

-A wise man is a perfect social being, which makes
society happy by his presence, for he regards the
pain and pleasure of others as his own.
-„‟He who looks upon every human being as
himself with regard to pleasure and pain, he is
considered as a saint of the highest order‟‟.
(Bhagavad-Gita).
3. Division in Islam
- Islam teaches that in the sight of God, all men
are equal but they are not necessarily identical or
the same. There are differences in abilities,
potentials, ambitions, wealth and beliefs.
-The Quran says, ‟‟Unbelievers, I do not serve
what you worship, nor do you serve what I
worship, nor will you ever serve what I worship.
You have your own religion and I have mine‟‟.

strangers nicely, and
doing good to your enemies.

 He was open to any person.
 He was brave.
 He did not discriminate anyone.
 He showed love for everybody regardless of what
he/she had done.
 He didn‟t mind what people said about him
 He was courageous.
 He did what was right without fear.
Note: read the following Bible passages about Jesus
overcoming divisions.
 Luke 5:27-30- Jesus calls the tax collector;
 Matthew 8:5-13 Jesus cures the Romans‟ servant;
 John 4:6-9 the Samaritan woman;

 Forgiveness is the remission of sins.
How to be forgiven
Steps needed for forgiveness and reconciliation.
-If a person who has sinned wants to be friends
again with God or with the one who has been
offended, four things are needed:
1. Repentance
- changing your mind, being sorry of the wrong
thing you did.
2. Confession
- sayingsorry, admitting that what you did was
wrong.
3. Penance
- doing something to show you are really sorry,
accepting a punishment, paying back what you
took or spoiled.
4. Forgiveness
- forgiving the one you want to forgive you,
showing that there is no bitterness in your heart
about the quarrel or fight between you. One
outstanding example is the parable of the „Lost
Son and the Forgiving Father‟. Luke 15:11-32

Teaching about forgiveness
In Christianity
- the story of the forgiving father teaches
Christians that God is always willing to forgive
sinners who come back to Him.
-Read Matthew 18:21-35 about the parable of the
unforgiving servant and Matthew 6:12-15 Jesus
giving Christians a model prayer in which they are
encouraged to forgive other people in order for
them to be forgiven too.
-Luke 17:3-4 „‟If your brother sins, rebuke him,
and repents, forgive him. If he sins against you
seven times in one day, and each time he comes to
you saying I repent, you must forgive him‟‟.
- In Hinduism- the Vedas say, „‟when a sin is
confessed, it becomes less, because it becomes the
truth‟‟.According to Mahatma Ghandi, he says,
„‟Confession of sins is like a broom that sweeps
away the dirt and leaves the surface cleaner than

2. Zambian Traditional life
-There was guided learning, especially for the youth from the
discussion
before initiation ceremonies or marriage
3. Islam
-Islam favours guided learning through listening to the
Imam as heexplains the teachings of the Quran.
-A Muslim is expected to learn the Quran by heart as
much as possible,so that they will obey God at all times
and in all things. Learning frompeople is not necessary
because God has given in the Quran a direct
guided learning experience for each person.
4. Hinduism
-In Hinduism, unguided learning is emphasized as the
path to trueknowledge. One who wants to learn the right
path will go and stay with aguru, a holy man.
- A guru teaches by what he is and how he lives more
than by what hesays. A disciple is expected to watch and
imitate a guru. His sayings are often riddles or hints or
problems which the disciple must work out for him.
Contradictions in learning
Sometimes different learning experiences contradict each
other. For example
- The guided learning you have in church or Mosque
about God creating the world in six days may contradict
the guided learning you have in school about the world
developing over six millions of years.
-The unguided learning you have by seeing that one of
your teachers enjoys smoking cigarettes may contradict
the unguided learning you have by seeing that another of
your teachers hates even the smell of tobacco.
-The guided learning you receive from someone (what
they say) may contradict the unguided learning you
receive from the same person (their actions).

Traditionally in Zambia truth was only known by the elders. It
was believed that they had proved by experiences what was true
and learned from the experience of the elders before them.
Some Zambian proverbs talking about truth;
-Akanwa ka mwefu takabepa (Bemba) - The bearded mouth does
not lie.
- Mau a akulu akoma akagonera (Chewa) – The words of the elders
become sweet the day after.
-Mupati usiigwa kuluno ku maano tomusiyi (Tonga) - The elder is
overtaken in running but not in wisdom.
-As to the above African Traditional religion proverbs, the wiser
and more experienced the person was only elderly people can be
said to have wisdom because they have experienced many things in
life.
-Truth is known by experience. A rain-maker speaks the truth if rain
comes when he has promised it.
-A doctor speaks the truth if his/her medicine cures the sickness.
-A diviner speaks the truth if his/her solution for the problem
removes the problem.
In African Traditional religion taboos were there;
-things that are said to help people avoid doing wrong things.
Taboos are true because troubles come to people who disobey them.
If not these taboos are forgotten. Truth is proved by experienced;
the elders have more experience and so they know more of the truth.
Truth in Hinduism
-Hinduism teaches that Brahman is the Only Reality and the Only
Truth. All the things we see and touch are not truly real; they are
always changing and they will pass away.
-Only the Soul is real, because it is part of Brahman; the Great
Soul. The most important truth and the real truth is that each
person‟s Soul (Atman) is part of the Great Soul (Brahman).
-Brahman is greater than anyone can understand or know; the truth
of Brahman cannot be fully understood or known by anyone.
-Each person may find out only part of the truth, but only part. That
part will be wrong because it is not the whole truth.
- This is illustrated in the story of the six blind men and the
elephant.
- This traditional Hindu story teaches that each person can know
only part of the truth.
- Each blind man was partly right but each man was wrong about
what an elephant was.
-In the same way, each religious tradition knows only part of the
truth but none knows the whole truth.
Truth in Islam
- For the Muslim, the standard of truth is God‟s word in the
Quran. Anyone that contradicts the Quran cannot be true.
-No human being can know more or better than God. In dealing
with matters not found in the Quran, Islam encourages scientific
research to find out the truth about God‟s word.
-Traditionally, Muslims have been pioneers in Mathematics,
Science and Technology.

which happen in God‟s world e.g. the beautiful weather and
seasons.
-God also shows people the truth about himself through two most
important ways which are through the Holy Spirit and through
Jesus Christ.
- John 14:6 Jesus said, ” I am the truth‟‟
- John 14:1 „‟he is the Spirit who reveals the truth about God‟‟
-John 16:13 when the Spirit comes, who reveals the truth about
God, he will lead you into all truth‟‟.

Living truthfully
-Christians believes that God is true because they have
experienced that God is faithful and keeps His
promises and does not change His loving attitudes
towards people.
-The Old Testament tells that God was faithful to the
people he had chosen, even when they were unfaithful
to him. Hosea 1:3 and 3:1 the prophet Hosea was
faithful to his wife although she was unfaithful to him.
Hosea said that God was the same; God still loved the
Israelites, although they worshipped other gods and
disobeyed God‟s commandments.
- Romans 8:38-39 Paul writes that nothing at all can
separate Christians from Gods love for them. God
remains faithful and true in spite of all disasters and
discouragements.
- God is the truth because God is faithful and Gods
love does not change. Jesus lived truthfully because he
remained faithful to God, even though that led to his
death. Jesus remained true to his baptism, his work
and his teachings through all difficulties and dangers.
- For the Christians today, living truthfully means
being faithful to Gods commandments and always
behaving in the loving way that Jesus showed.
-Living truthfully means not changing ones behaviour
or standards when temptations and difficulties come.
Finding out the truth
-Modern scientific education teaches us to find out the
truth by observation and experiment.
-Scientific method has shown how nature works and
has made a lot of developments possible.
-We use scientific methods to find out the truth of
„‟factual‟‟ statements, but scientific methods cannot
help us find out the truth of statements like „‟ I love
you‟‟, „‟ God creates everything‟‟ or „‟Communism is
wrong‟‟.
Five important Questions to ask when finding out
about the truth
-To find out about the truth of what we read or hear,
we need to ask these five questions about it:

1. Who said it?
2. What did he say?
3. What did he mean?

-To answer these questions correctly, it is important
for us to listen or read carefully. If we do not pay
attention, we shall not find out the truth of what is
being said.
Prejudice
-„‟Prejudice‟‟ means „‟judging in advance‟‟, deciding
before you know the truth, or making up your mind
before listening to or looking at the facts.

More freedom brings more problems.
You may want more freedom as you grow up but freedom may
bring more problems and challenges. E.g. when you are free
from control by your parents and you are free from school,
you will have the problem of getting enough money to look
after yourself and your children if any; you have to buy your
own food and clothes, pay rent, water, and electricity bills and
taxes.

Good leaders develop their ability to lead through on-going selfstudy, education, training and experience.
Types of leadership.
1.Political leaders:
Are given authority through democratic elections
In Zambia, presidential, parliamentary and local government
elections are held every five years to elect leaders.
2.Civic leaders:
Include town mayors, councillors, and town clecks
3.Traditional leaders:
These are usually chosen through inheritance and some are
appointed by the elders of a particular community.
4.Religious leaders:
Are usually chosen or appointed by God or senior leaders of the
church.
These depend on God through holy scriptures for guidance and
instructions on how to lead others.
Styles of leadership
Different situations require different styles.
The following are the styles.
1.Autocratic leadership:
A leader that makes decisions alone without the input of others.
They possess total authority and impose their will on their
followers.
No one challenges the decisions they make.
2.Laissez-faire leadership:
A leader that allows his followers to make many of their own
decisions,
It only works well when the followers are highly experienced and
know exactly what to do and how to do it.
3. Participative leadership:
It is called democratic leadership
It values the input of team members and followers, but the
responsibility of making the final decision rests with the leader.
This leadership boosts morale because team members feel their
opinions matter
4. Transaction leadership:
This leadership negotiate tasks for the followers to perform and
provide feedback to team members based on how they perform.
Leaders and team members set goals together
The leader possesses the power to review results and train or
correct people when team members fail to meet goals.
5. Transformational leadership:
Leaders motivate team members by communication and high
visibility.

disobeying God. Deuteronomy28:15-24

12:5-11
-To test and purify people‟s faith in God.1Peter
1:6-7
-Because suffering is the way to enter the
kingdom of God. Mark 8:34-35
-To teach people that they depend completely
on God for everything.2Corinthians 12:7-10

 Judas betrayed him
 Peter denied him
 His disciples left him.

-the life into which I am reborn will depend on your
karma

Preparing for death.
It is important to prepare for death because every one of us
will at one time die, whether you believe it or not
People prepare for death in the following way:
1. Writing a will:
- A will is a written document showing how
properties will bw shared after death
- Hence, people write will before they die
tabulating how his/her properties will be
shared among the living once dead.
2. Physical preparation:
- Some people may buy burial places in advance
- Investing money in business for their children
3. Emotional preparation:
- Praying to God for His help before they die
- They try to live a good life so that they can
also live a good life after death, so they try to
be religious.
Effects of death on the society:
 Creates sorrow
 Deprives society of skilled man power
 Deprives society of dependable member of the society.

Religious teaching on death
1. Christianity
-Death came into the word because of disobedience. (Genesis
3:22-24,6:1-7)
-God decided that people will not leave forever because
people are wicked and God is sorry that he made man.
2. Islam
-In the Quran is like the story in Genesis; Adam and his wife
were tempted by accepting to eat from the forbidden fruit.
-“Allah says to them; Go away from here. Your descendant
will be enemies of each other. There you shall live and there
you shall die.”(Quran)
3. Hinduism
- For Hindus, death is not the end of a person; it is a gateway
to another world or life.
-The Vedas tell the story of Yama.
-Yama became the first man who died and the first man who
conquered death
- People pray to Yama to set them free to join the better world

Ideas about life after death in Zambian tradition
-The traditional Zambian belief is that after a person dies
the spirit of the person still lives.
-The spirit remains part of the community and has power to
harm or help people.
-This is why the spirit of the dead person is given gifts and
asked for help.
- It is believed that the spirit of the witch may continue
troubling people just as the witch had done before death.
-When there is a problem people would go to the shrine to
consult the spirits of the ancestors for help because they
believe because they believe the spirits are active members
of the society
-Spirits of the ancestors are invited at special times like;
. Birth
. Puberty
. Marriage, etc. and words of welcome and praise will be
said to the spirits
-When a person dies, the Bemba say;
-Lesa asekula nkoko shakwe. (God has taken back the
chicken he put in safe keeping).
- Lesa tona cakwe. (God does not destroy his creatures
Muslim ideas about life after death
- The Quran states very many times that God will raise
people from death and judge them at the day of judgment.
- God will reward the faithful ones and punish the
unbelievers
-That is why the face of the dead person is turned towards
mecca.
Hindu Ideas about life after death
-The soul of a person does not die, because it is part of the
great soul (Brahman),
-Every Hindu hopes that his soul will be united with
Brahman and set free from having to live in a body in this
world.
- Freedom from being born into another body is called
Moksha.
-The person who dies and lived a good life the soul will be
born into a better.
- of a person who dies has lived a bad life, the soul will be
born into a lower class or even into animal, e.g. dog.
-A person‟s spirit (Atman) is reborn after the physical
body many times.
- Re-incarnation is the rebirth of one‟s spirit.
-Hindus usually burn the body of a dead person because

learners to ask
-“Later, many Jews believed that dead people would live again;
question
some will enjoy eternal life, and some will suffer eternal
disgrace.” (Daniel 12:2)
- At that time of Jesus, some Jews (the Pharisees) believed in
resurrection after death, but other Jews (Sadducees) did not
believe in any resurrection (Acts 23:6-7).
Meaning which the resurrection of Jesus has for Christians
-It puts Christian‟s right with God. Romans 4:25.
- It proves Jesus is the son of God- Romans 1:4.
- It means Jesus has prepared a place with God for his followersJohn 14:1-4
- It made it possible for Christians to receive the Holy spirit- John
16:12-20.
- It makes Christians sure that they will also rise from the dead -1
Corinthians15:12-20.
1. The parable of JESUS and Lazarus makes Christians believe
that people are judged and live their risen life immediately after
death. Luke 16:19-31
2. In the parable of the last judgement Christians believe that
people will rise and be judged all together at the second coming of
Jesus. Mathew 25:31-46
Christian controversy concerning the ideas of life after death
and Judgement.
All Christians believe that God will raise them from death and live
forever with God. However;
 Some have different beliefs concerning life after
death(1Theselonians 4:13-17)
 Some Christians believe that after they rise from death they
will be judged according to whatever they did on earth
,good or bad(Romans 2:6-11)
 Others believe that people are just judged immediately
after death and live their risen life as told in the story of
Lazarus and the Rich man in(Luke 16:19-31) and Paul

Example of people who died for what they believed in:
People who died for their faith in something are known as
martyrs.
Examples:
1. Charles Lwanga of Uganda who was killed with more
than 30 other men in 1986.
- They died joyfully whilst singing hymns and

repents- Acts 19:1-5)

TEMPTATION
Temptation, Testing and Sin
a) Temptation
-Temptation is the attempt to make someone
disobey God.
-Is the desire to sin or do something wrong.
Temptation in itself is not sin, but giving in
too it is sin. Temptation tries to separate us
from God just like Adam and Eve (Gen 3;1119).
-God never tempts us because He is Holy
(James 1:13), Satan is the one who tempts us.
He tries to make us sin through our natural
desires (1 Corinthians 7:5, 1 Thessalonians
3:5, James 1;14).
-This means that temptations can come from
“Satan‟s voice” or “purely from our natural
desires”.

Temptations of Jesus
Jesus‟ temptation after Baptism
-The Holy Spirit led him into the wilderness for
forty days of fasting. Satan tempted him in three
ways:
-Turn these stones into bread. Satan wanted Jesus
to use his power for his own bodily needs.
-Worship me. The devil wanted Jesus to win
political power and authority by worshiping him.
-Jump from the pinnacle of the Temple. Satan
tempted Jesus to win the people through his
demonstration miracles. Jesus resisted all these
temptations by using the word of Go.
Other temptations of Jesus
Jesus faced temptation at other different occasions
apart from those in the desert. These
include:
-To do miracles to provide all the people‟s needs
(John 6:15)
-To prove his Messiah ship. They asked him to
prove he the Christ (Lk 11:29-30).
-To save himself from the cross (Lk 23:35-36)

a) The poor, hungry, persecuted and humble (Lk

The emphasis above text is on what Christians
think of themselves:
-Those who are proud of their spiritual growth
and do not acknowledge God will be humbled.
-Those that in humility recognise their spiritual
hunger and poverty more to God will be exalted.
b) The parable of the Wedding Feast (Lk 14:7-11)
In this parable, Jesus points out that:
-A humble person does not push himself up to
obtain the best seat. He was probably thinking of
the Jewish leaders who had the best positions in
society and thought that they will have the same
positions in the Kingdom of God too.

How people will be judged by Jesus
The Bible gives the basis of
judgement by Jesus. These are;

difference between believers and non
believers.
- At the final judgement, separation
will be done.
- The son of man knows those who
belong to him.

The following two parables show how
people will be judged according to
behaviour towards
others:
-The parable of the final judgement
(Mt 25:31-46)
- John the Baptist‟s warning about the
coming judgement (Lk 3:1-17)
- Jesus will separate believers from
non believers.

 God gives us our daily provisions.
 Forgive us our sins as we forgive others.
Christian attitude to Prayer
a) A friend at midnight (Lk 11:1-4)
 The parable teaches the importance of
perseverance or persistence in prayer.
 We never ask God in vain, he will answer.
 God is never reluctant to answer, but
waiting for the best time.
b) The Widow and the Judge (Lk 18:1-8)
In the story, an ungodly judge does not want to help
the begging widow but decides to help her because
she is becoming a nuisance.
Judges were supposed to have special concern for
the widows, orphans and the poor, but they were
often corrupt and selfish. They only helped those
who had money and influence.
 The widow had no money and influence, no
one helped her, she only got justice because
of persistence.
 Unlike the judge, God helps the needy and
the oppressed.
 We can rely on him to help us if we trust in
him and be persistent in prayer.
c) The Pharisee and the Tax Collector (Lk 18:914)
 Prayer must be addressed to God. The
Pharisee was only interested in himself and
did not have faith in God, but in his
religious works. For this he was condemned.
 The Tax collector had faith in God and he
knew he was a sinner. So he admitted to
God, humility and sorrow gripped him. He
was forgiven of all his sins.
God does not listen to people who try to tell him
about their good deeds.

- Prayers are made through the ancestral

- Most believe that if all is well, there is no
need to pray to God, it will bother and annoy

- Community prayer is more common than
private prayer as most people are aware that
God is more interested in the community than
an individual.
b) Islam
-Prayer is one of the essential five pillars of
Islam.
- Islam does not excuse the ill from praying as
they can pray while lying down. Those that
cannot go to the Mosque can still pray at
home facing Mecca.
-At noon on Friday which is the Holy day for
Muslims, special congregational messages are
said in a Mosque. There is also a sermon on
moral, social and political issues.
c) Hinduism
-Prayer has a very important position in life
of a Hindu. It influences thought processes.
-The nature of Hindu prayer is diverse. A
Hindu prays to the ultimate God, Brahman the
Great Soul. But a Hindu is encouraged to see
God in form of various gods and goddesses or
even nature.
- During prayer, he Hindu may chant his own
verse (Mantra) from the Holy books. He may
just sit quietly in a quiet spot and try to be one
with nature.
-Congregational prayer is not common among
the Hindus.

JESUS‟ ATTITUDE TO OTHER PEOPLE
The unpopular and despised people in Zambia
-People have different attitudes towards others, especially the
despised or unpopular. They sometimes
mock, ignore and isolate them. Some of the causes of these dislikes
are; jealousy, pride, fear and poverty.
Examples of people who are despised or unpopular are:
-The poor -Uneducated -The blind -The handicapped
-Prostitutes -Thieves
-People of other races or nationalities -Those with HIV/AIDS
How the despised can be helped
-By providing them with practical skills, material things and
spiritual help.
-By also mixing with them (those of race and HIV positive
Jesus‟ attitude to the despised and unpopular
a) Lepers
-At the time of Jesus, Leprosy was not only considered to be an
unclean disease, which required not only healing but cleansing.
-Jesus associated with them though he was expected stay from
them.
-He had compassion, pity, love and sympathy for them such that He
healed, mixed and touched them.
-Jesus respected the Jewish laws by insisting that healed lepers
observe the laws.
b) Tax collectors
This was another group of people who where despised at the time
of Jesus. They were treated as outcasts in the society because they
were traitors to the nation because they worked for the Romans.
They were hated for being known as cheaters because they
overcharged.
-Jesus told the Pharisees that, if tax collectors were bad, they were
the ones who needed his help most e.g. Levi and Zaccheaus.
Zaccheaus the tax collector (Lk 19:1-10)
- To become a friend of God, instead of an enemy, one had to make
friends with fellow men e.g. Zaccheaus gave out he had stolen.
-Jesus was able to see beyond the selfishness And cheating and saw
a man who was “lost” and needed to be put right with God.

-According to the Jewish thought; sinners were groups of people
who did not keep the Law of
Moses in its totality. Those who mixed with gentiles and tax

Strict Jews believed that salvation was in the keeping of the Law

-Jesus was not concerned with such social evils, but a person who
was a victim of such social evils e.g. The adulterous woman, The
parable of the money lender- Luke 7:36-50.
-In the story of the adulterous woman, Simon is surprised that
Jesus could allow such show of emotions from a sinful woman. In
answer to his criticism, Jesus tells him a story of two people who
owed money to the money lender. Jesus shows Simon three things:

a) The Parable of unforgiving servant (Lk selfishness
10:25-37)
Only God‟s unlimited forgiveness makes it
possible for the sinners to enter his Kingdom.
The best evidence that we belong to this
Kingdom is depth of our forgiveness and love
to those who wrong us.
The parable of the unforgiving illustrates
that:
-God has forgiven us all our debts quite beyond
our means to repay.
-Many times we show lack of forgiveness to
those whose debt of wrong doing to us are very
small, compared to what we owe God.
The Bible passage of Matthew 18:25-20 has
steps whish Jesus gave towards restoring
Christian fellowship with wrong doers:
-A personal visit straight to the offender, if he
refuses
-Another visit with two or three to talk about it,
if he refuses to repent
-Take it to the Church. The offender is taken
before a local congregation, to try to settle the
matter. If he refuses
-Treat him as an outsider. No longer a member
of the fellowship.

Love and Tolerance
a) Jesus uses the Greek word “agape”
for love. It describes love, which takes
an active interest in the welfare of
others. It does not expect anything in
return.
b) Love does more than it needs,
because even people who have no
religion show love to friends. Acts of
kindness will receive God‟s reward, if
done from proper motives (Mt 5:43-48).
Intolerance and lack of Love
a) The Samaritans had been enemies of
the Jews for Centuries. They hated the
Jews passing in their province on their
way to Jerusalem.
b) Jesus disapproved of the Kind of
exclusive, intolerant behaviour shown
by one of his disciples when cut off
Marcus‟s ear (Lk 22:47-53). Jesus
demonstrated his love, compassion and
forgiveness.
c) Jesus was a friend of the gentiles and
tax collectors. He did not despise them
or ignore them. He tried to bring them
into the Kingdom.

In Zambian Traditional community, there:
-Love for each other especially the unfortunate
ones.
-Revenge was discouraged; visitors and strangers
were welcome.
-A deep sense of kinship controlled the how people
behaved together and to each other. Each person
had their place in the system.
-If one person offended another in his behaviour,
they were expected to ask for forgiveness.
b) Islam
-Islam declares that all men are brothers and in
their status us human beings. A man’s merit does
not depend on his family, connections or his wealth,
but on whether he is better than others in moral
conduct and holiness.

Islam.
-Muslims are hospitable people and proud of
hosting guests. One may even go hungry in order to
feed the guest.
c) Hinduism
-Hinduism is not an aggressive religion. It has been
practised through love, forgiveness and tolerance.
-Hinduism has never tried to expand itself through
religious persecution, or by imposing its principles
on other people. It uses the principle of winning
opponents through love and forgiveness.
-Hinduism believes in external love, not the kind
which expects anything in return, not motivated but
for the unity of soul and mind. It is a spiritual love
and all materials can give.
-Forgiveness is the main principle in Hinduism.
Wrong doers are expected to be forgiven. Therefore,
forgiveness is not a weakness, but comes from a
strong feeling of liberalism and broadness of mind.
-Tolerance is an important teaching in Hinduism and
it has its reward in the long run. Tolerance shows a
strong character and spiritual strength of mind.
Hinduism itself has survived through tolerance.

Sources of Suffering
Christians have their own views on why people
suffer. Suffering is basically as a result of sin
cursed world. Before Adam and Eve sinned,
there was no suffering.
Causes of Suffering
Many people believe that suffering does not just
come; there must be sources of these suffering.
Each type of suffering has its own source:
-It comes from a fallen world containing evil.
-People some times bring suffering on
themselves because of their conduct.
-Because of jealousy or hatred, people have
caused suffering on others.
-Though God is in control, He sometimes allows
the Devil to bring tragedies on man (Job 1 and
2).
a) Christians:
Today, God allow people to suffer for the
following different reasons:
-To test and purify their faith- (1Peter 1:6-7)
-To punish them for their sins and disobedience(Deut 28:15-24)
-To discipline them and teach them- (Heb 12:511)
-To teach to depend on God- (II Cor 12:7-10)
-It is the cost of following Jesus- (Mk 8:34-35)
b) Zambian Traditional Religion:
People suffer because:
-They have displeased the spirits.
-They are hated by the witch or bewitched.
-Disrespect to ancestral spirits which bring
sicknesses, bad luck or even death.

In the Old Testament, two vivid sides of Jesus are shown:
 The Messiah is shown as a ruling King (Psalms 2)
 He is also shown as a suffering servant (Isaiah 53)
Why Jews failed to understand Jesus as suffering servant
and ruling King
 They expected the Messiah to chase the Romans
away.
 They expected Messiah to be the King and live in
luxury.
 They expected the Messiah to be a powerful
political leader.
Meaning of the phrase “Son of Man”
 His suffering and glory.
 His life on earth in manhood (as a human being).
 His future coming; in glory and power of his
Kingdom.
Jesus tells (predicts) his suffering (Lk 9:21-22)
 The cost Christ paid to make it salvation possible.
 Often as a sign of obedience to God.
The disciples discovered an important truth about Jesus:
a) He was the Messiah, as such;
b) He must to suffer.
The meaning of the phrase “I must”
The Son of Man must suffer... “Jesus often used the
phrase, “I must” to show that:
 He saw his mission as the father’s will.
 He and the father were one (John 10:30)
 God’s will was his will too.
Christian’s hope and faith in Suffering (I Peter 1:6-7; 2:2024)
 Christians can be glad even in suffering. It is a way
of testing our faith and proves to be real.
 If we become fearful, we need to speak to God.
He will give us the right words and attitude
through suffering time.
 It is one way of learning to depend on God.
 We are assured that we will never be tested
beyond our strength.
The Suffering and Death of John the Baptist (Mk 6:17-29;
Lk 7:8-28)
From this story, we learn that:
 The way of God is not in special sign and great
show. It grows gradually, slowly, often through
suffering and persecution.

Christians Should Be Willing To Suffer
A. Suffering And Death of John the Baptist, Mk
6:17-29; 7:18- 28.
1. John had shown great courage by treating
everyone the same, even the King. Perhaps he
wondered why Jesus did not declare Himself openly
as Messiah, and releases him from prison to
continue his work.
2. He sent disciples to ask if Jesus was the one who
was promised. Jesus identified Himself as the
Messiah of the poor and persecuted, bringer of
salvation to all trouble people Isaiah 35:4-6.
3. Jesus reassured John by telling him that he was
right to have faith in Him. John’s obedience to
God’s will in preaching God’s message, and the
testing of his faith, led him to glory and acceptance
in the Kingdom.
4. The humblest believer in Christ now, is ‘greater’
than John. If John and Jesus suffered, we must also
be willing to suffer.
The teacher initiate
class discussion on
ways in which
Christians should be
willing to suffer
B. Take up The Cross, Lk 9:23-27
1. The Cross is a symbol of suffering Lk 9:23-27. It
was especially so to the Jews during the Roman
occupation. Christ’s followers must be prepared to
suffer.
2. The one who wants to follow Christ must be
ready to make sacrifices and give up comfort and
security, although it is not sinful for a Christian to
be wealthy. Jesus demands total commitment, this
may include suffering, Lk 9:57-58, in Acts 14:22,
Paul and Barnabas taught the new Christians to
remain true even through ‘many troubles.’
C. Christian Faith and Hope in Suffering. 1 peter 1:
6-7; 2:20-24
1. Christians can be glad even in suffering. It is the
way our faith is tested and proved to be real. We
can experience joy when we realize that soon we
shall enter our promised inheritance. We deny our
faith if we fail to identify ourselves as Christ’s
disciples.
2. If the fear of God controls our lives, we need not
be afraid to speak for Christ. Fear of God is not like

God’s Involvement in Our Suffering
-Though God may allow us to suffer, it does not mean he does
not care. He cannot let us suffer beyond what we cannot endure
(1 Cor 10:13)
-He wants us to seek his kingdom first then everything else will
be given to us. We should not fear man but trust in God. He
knows about our suffering. Luke 12:4-7; 29-31
- God also shares our suffering in Jesus’ Luke 9:57-58; Heb 2:18.
Jesus demands total commitment. God however, strengthens us
in all our suffering. 2 Cor 3:5
Jesus’ Willingness to Suffer For Us
-Suffering was the cost Christ paid to make Salvation possible.
His suffering provides Salvation and the glory of heaven. To carry
out God’s will for mankind involved great suffering for Christ.
Jesus predicted His suffering and on certain occasions He spoke
of His coming suffering
A. Jesus Predicts His Suffering. Lk 9:21-22
The apostles had discovered an important truth about Jesus. He
was the Messiah. He and The Father were one, John 10:30, and
as such, God’s will was His will. This was the first declaration that
Jesus knew he would suffer and die at the hands of Jewish
leaders.
The Transfiguration – Lk 9:28-36; Isaiah 52:13-53:12
1. The “high mountain” could have been Mount Hermon, North
of Caesara Philippi. When Jesus went to pray, He knew what
would happen in Jerusalem, and he was completely committed
to God’s will, in spite of any temptations Satan might put before
Him.
2. Jesus’ whole appearance was changed and His glory was
revealed.
3. The word used for ‘Death’ or ‘Departure’, v.31, is the Greek,
‘Exodus’. Moses, who led the Israelites to deliverance from
slavery in Egypt in the first Exodus], now speaks with the One
whose own Exodus or death will bring deliverance from sin.
4. Peter wanted things to remain as they were, v.33. In v.34 “a
cloud’’ is a symbol of God’s
presence, Exodus 13:21-22, 1 Kings 8:10-11

- Seen teaching crowds in the Temple, daily.
-Driven traders out of the Temple-John 2:23
-The religious leaders came up with a tricky question,
‘’by what authority are you doing this?’’
-This question was trick because;
-If he answered he had the right because He was the
Messiah, they would accuse Him of blasphemy against
God, and the rebellion against the Roman Ceaser.
- If He denied His Messiah ship, or claimed He own
authority, the people who had just hailed Him as the
son of David (MESSIAH) would not accept this and the
result would have been disillusionment and a riot.

Leaners discuss
discussion
-During the time of Jesus, many people faced death. Jesus
was concern about the people‟s welfare both physically and
spiritually.
a) The widow‟s son at Nain- Luke7:11-16
-Nain was a small town, east of Nazareth.
-The widow lived there and had only one son.
-Unfortunately her only son died.
-This meant that the widow would remain in a terrible state
of poverty.
-This miracle made people to recognize Jesus as great
prophet.
-Jesus used His divine power to triumph over death.
b) Jesus raises Jairus‟ daughter-Luke 8:40-42, 49-56
-Jairus held an important position
-He was a ruler of a Synagogue, responsible for all
organization of the Synagogue.
-At that time, there was an increase in the official
disapproval of Jesus.
-Therefore it took much courage for Jairus, a Jewish leader,
to approach Jesus to heal his daughter.
-While on the way, there were two interruptions.
-These were a healing miracle; this delayed the procession to
Jairus‟ house.
-Jesus received a report that Jairus‟ daughter had died.
-Jesus responded to the report by saying the child had not
died.
-„‟Only believe only believe and she will be well.‟‟
-The son of God used His power to overcome death by death
by raising the girl from death back to life.
-This miracle too shows that Jesus is Lord both life and
death.
-It is only faith in Him, which saves
c) Raising of Lazarus- John 11: 1-44
-Lazarus lived in Bethany and was very sick.
- Jesus was near this location and heard about the sickness.
-However, Jesus never hurried to Bethany, though He heard
that His friend had died.
-Jesus was to raise him back to life and prove that He was in
unity with the father as son of
God.
- Martha Lazarus‟ sister believed that it was too late for
Jesus to heal her brother.
-Jesus told her that Lazarus would rise to life.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DIFFERENT PEOPLE
Before the beginning of the church
-Communication barriers existed between Jews,
Samaritans, and Gentiles. All three groups were
segregated. Jews were prejudiced against Tax
collectors and Samaritans. There was also
segregation between women and men, lepers
and ordinary people.
After the Birth of the Church
-The people were united in Christ and the
differences became immaterial. Both Jews and
Gentiles.
Language barriers
Language is crucial for all forms of
communication. Whenever there are different
groups of people, it is essential to have a
common language for communication. The

Saul’s conversion (Acts 9: 1 – 19)
-Saul increased his persecution of the church,
imprisoning many and executing others.
-Instead of stamping out the “Seat,” the

scatter, preaching as they went. The Gospel
spread to new areas.

Damascus in Syria and so he asked the high
priest for letters of introduction to the
synagogues in that area. These letters would
give Saul the authority to search out these
people of “the way”.
-On the road to Damascus, this hard – hearted
Pharisee met God’s challenge.
-Suddenly there was a blinding light and was

Saul, why are you persecuting me? Why are
you kicking against your conscience and the

The Church at Antioch (Acts 11:19 – 26)
 When persecution struck the believers in
Jerusalem some fled as far as Antioch and
continued to preach the Good News there, but to
Jews only.
 Other Christians from Cyprus and Cyrene arrived
and preached to Greek – speaking Gentiles and
great numbers believed, forming a multi- racial
church.
 This news reached the church in Jerusalem and
they sent Barnabas to see if this was of God and to
give any help needed.
 Barnabas was from Cyprus and spoke Greek. He
knew the culture of these. He seeks out Saul from
Tarsus to help hi, teach. He recognises Saul as a
man with leadership abilities and a deep
knowledge of scriptures.
 Saul and Barnabas worked in Antioch for a year in
a wonderful partnership of service, teaching in the
church.
 It was at Antioch that the followers of Christ were
first called “Christians”. Many people were talking
about there that the people nick – named them”
Christians” or ‘Christ ones’
 It was in Antioch that Saul began his great work to
carry the Good News to people of many nations.

insisted that to be a true Christian, one first had
to become a Jew by being circumcised keeping all
the laws of Moses. They insisted the Gentile
converts had first to become believers in Judaism.
 Some of these people came to Antioch and taught
that unless one was circumcised and obeyed the
Law of Moses, could be saved. Paul and Barnabas
argued with them and finally the church sent Paul
and others to Jerusalem to present the problem to
the Apostles and elders.
 After Paul recounted what God had been doing
among the Gentiles, there was much debate. Peter
explained how God had chosen him to go to the
Gentiles and also, how God has shown that people
are saved by faith in Christ, not by laws.
 They all agreed to write a letter and send it to the
Gentile Christians through Paul, and Barnabas.
 The letter pointed that: They were advised not to:
(i)
Eat food offered to idols
(ii)
Eat or drink blood
(iii)
Eat animals that had been strangled, killed
by snaring or those not bled properly
according to the Jewish law.
(iv)

Christian, but simply to help Christians of Jewish or

ALL WORKERS SHOULD BE RESPECTED
Bible teachings
 The Bible teaches that all workers contribute to the
welfare of society and therefore deserve respect.
 Manual work is usually despised, but the bible
commands us to work with our hands.
 We must make use of our talents large or small.
 Even in such jobs (manual work) Christian
commitment increases one’s abilities and may well
lead to increased respect from others, and to
promotion.
CONFLICTS OVER WORK VALUES
Biblical teaching on the exploitation of workers
 The Bible clearly says that a worker deserves his
pay and must be give it, Luke 10: 7.
 Exploitation of workers is wrong.
 Having agreed to a wage, the employee should not
afterwards argue with his employers.
 The employee should be obedient and give the best
service he or she can offer.

Christian attitudes to leaders
-All rulers, even bad ones, receive their authority from God.
Therefore we must be subject to our rulers since they have been
put their by God.(Romans 13:1-7)
-Leaders should be obeyed and respected. However, the first
loyalty of Christians is to God, rather than to human rulers.
Attitudes to rulers in Christianity and other religions
a) Christianity
-A leader must be willing to serve, listen and learn.
- A true leader is humble. He forgets himself in the interest of
others, and does not rule over others like a dictator.
-A leader does not demand special treatment because of his
position.
-Christ‟s followers must reproduce in their lives, the humility of
Christ.
b) Zambian Tradition
-A leader looks after the interest of the community. He has a
subordinate who works with him.
-A leader demands special treatment because of his position.
-Leaders get into power through inheritance and consensus.
- Leaders are a fountain of knowledge and wisdom.
-Medicine men, Witch finders, diviners, rain markers and priest
were specialists in the community and played a special role in
the Traditional religion.
c) Islam
-Administration in an Islamic state is under an Amir or Chief.
He should have the confidence
of the majority for his knowledge of Islam and should show a
fear of God and have leadership
qualities.
-The Amir is assisted by an advisory Council called Shura. He
administers the country with their advice.
-The Ayatollahs are the religious leaders and teachers. Amongst the Sunni, a sect of Islam, there is a sense of
community.
-Muhammad taught them tolerance, so they have adopted a
strong spirit of co-operation and accepts the fact of differing
ideas within Islam.
d) Hinduism
-Traditional Hindu leaders were high Priests and were religious
leaders.
-The great Kings of ancient India used to take advice from the
Great Sages or Wise ones.
-According to ancient Hindu legends and Hindu history, all
