the 2024 Divinity Syllabus for Advanced Secondary Schools (Form V-VI), issued
by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology (MoEST). The textbook is
intended to enable you to appreciate the importance of Divinity and its application
in daily life situations.

The book is organised into seven chapters. It begins with the introductory chapter;
then, the book proceeds to the second chapter, which addresses the concept of
good governance; the third chapter deals with the concept of courage and decision-
making, and the fourth chapter studies the book of Prophet Isaiah, focusing on his
main teachings. The fifth chapter uses the book of Amos to discuss the concept
of social justice and community rights; Chapter Six engages the book of Hosea
to understand God’s compassion, mercy and forgiveness, and the seventh chapter
tracks the concept of responsibility in the books of Haggai and Zechariah. The
book contains engaging activities and exercises, real-life examples and interactive
activities that will help you develop the level of application and contextualisation.
In addition, the book will enhance your ability to think critically. This will enable
you to justly interpret the contemporary problems and have an ethical life.
