At Chichester we investigate the big questions:

  • What is the place of religion in modern society?
  • Who was Jesus of Nazareth and what can we know of his life?
  • What do Muslims really believe?
  • What do you have to do to live a good life?
  • Why do people suffer?
  • How do Christians describe God and what does it mean to say we are saved?
  • How can society be fairly and justly organized?
