Try these sample questions to test your Bayern Abitur Ev. Religion (gA) exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.
1In Genesis 1:26–28 humanity is created "in the image of God" (imago Dei). In Protestant interpretation, as presupposed in LehrplanPLUS, this primarily means that human beings ...
A.are called into a unique relationship with God and commissioned to exercise responsible dominion over creation
B.physically resemble God in their outward appearance
C.possess a divine spark that makes them small gods alongside God
D.receive an unlimited privilege to exploit nature for any purpose
Explanation: The imago Dei expresses that every human shares a special relationship with God and is addressed as God's counterpart. The associated commission to 'rule' is read as responsible representation and care for creation, not domination. This grounds human dignity independently of achievement or status.
2The double commandment of love (Doppelgebot der Liebe), which Jesus names as the sum of the law, combines ...
A.love of God and love of neighbor
B.love of oneself and love of one's enemies
C.faith in God and good works
D.prayer to God and fasting for purification
Explanation: Jesus joins Deuteronomy 6:5 (love God with all your heart) with Leviticus 19:18 (love your neighbor as yourself) and declares that everything else in the law and the prophets depends on these two. LehrplanPLUS names the Doppelgebot as a biblical foundation of Christian ethics alongside the Decalogue and the Sermon on the Mount.
3Luke 15 gathers the parables of the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the prodigal son. Their common theological point is ...
A.God actively seeks the lost and rejoices over their return more than over the self-assured righteous
B.God rewards those who have earned acceptance through moral achievement
C.God accepts sinners only after they have completed a full penance
D.God's patience will eventually end in the final condemnation of all sinners
Explanation: All three parables answer the criticism that Jesus eats with sinners: God's searching joy over the one who was lost. The father in the prodigal son story runs toward the returning son before any confession is completed, showing grace as initiative. LehrplanPLUS uses Luke 15 as a key text for sin, guilt, and forgiveness in Lernbereich 12.2.
4In Romans 3:21ff Paul states that the righteousness of God has been revealed. Its decisive feature is that it is given ...
A.apart from works of the law, through faith, by grace to all who believe
B.as a reward to those who fulfill the law of Moses completely
C.only to the Jewish people as the heirs of the covenant
D.gradually, as the believer improves morally over a lifetime
Explanation: Paul argues that all have sinned and are justified 'by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus' — received by faith, not achieved by works. This text is a scriptural root of the Reformation doctrine of justification. LehrplanPLUS lists Röm 3,21ff explicitly for the topic of sin and grace.
5In Romans 7 Paul writes: "For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I do." In the Lutheran reading presupposed in LehrplanPLUS this describes ...
A.the ongoing struggle of the baptized believer, who remains at once righteous and sinner and therefore lives from grace, not from the law's saving power
B.only the hopeless condition of a person before any faith, with no relevance for Christian existence
C.proof that moral effort is pointless and Christians are released from all responsibility
D.a temporary weakness that disappears completely once someone truly converts
Explanation: Lutheran interpretation reads Romans 7 as describing the divided will of the believer: the law exposes sin but cannot overcome it, so the Christian lives as simul iustus et peccator — wholly justified before God and still caught in sin. This keeps grace, not achievement, at the center of Christian existence.
6In 1 Corinthians 13 Paul writes that "now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face." LehrplanPLUS uses this in Lernbereich 12.2 to express ...
A.the fundamental limitedness of human perception of reality, in the tension of 'already' and 'not yet'
B.that scientific knowledge is worthless and should be replaced by faith
C.that the human senses are inherently deceptive and nothing can be known at all
D.that only the clergy can perceive spiritual truth correctly
Explanation: Paul's mirror image concedes that present knowledge of God and reality is fragmentary and awaits completion. LehrplanPLUS sets this alongside Plato and Kant on the limits of perception, framing Christian hope as 'already now, not yet complete'. The point is epistemic humility, not hostility to knowledge.
7Genesis 3 tells of the serpent's promise "you will be like God" before the humans eat from the tree. In Protestant interpretation this narrates sin as ...
A.the desire to be like God — self-deification that breaks trust and disrupts the relationship with God, others, and oneself
B.a minor rule violation whose real problem is the forbidden fruit itself
C.the necessary and welcome step by which humanity gained moral knowledge
D.an act of courage that God secretly intended all along
Explanation: The narrative locates sin not in the fruit but in the aspiration to occupy God's place and to define good and evil autonomously. Its consequence is portrayed relationally: shame, mutual accusation, and hiding from God. LehrplanPLUS formulates this as 'Sünde als Sein-wollen wie Gott' within Genesis 1–11.
8The Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5–7) contains the so-called antitheses ("You have heard that it was said ... but I say to you"). Their characteristic move is ...
A.a radicalization that interiorizes the commandments — anger already violates the prohibition of killing, and even enemies are to be loved
B.a relaxation of the law so that outward behavior no longer matters at all
C.the replacement of the Ten Commandments with an entirely new law code
D.a purely political program for reforming the Roman legal system
Explanation: In the antitheses Jesus presses the commandments into the heart: not only murder but contempt, not only adultery but the lustful look, not only love of neighbor but love of enemy. For Protestant ethics this radical demand is a biblical foundation that at once guides action and exposes human failure, driving toward grace.
9The Decalogue (Ten Commandments) is transmitted in two biblical passages and is traditionally structured into two 'tables'. This structure distinguishes ...
A.commandments concerning the relationship to God from commandments concerning the relationship to fellow human beings
B.commandments for priests from commandments for laypeople
C.commandments that still apply from commandments that were abolished
D.ritual purity rules from dietary rules
Explanation: The Decalogue appears in Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5. Its first table orders life toward God (no other gods, name, Sabbath), the second life toward the neighbor (honor of parents, life, marriage, property, truth). LehrplanPLUS names the Decalogue as a biblical foundation of Christian ethics.
10Jesus compares the kingdom of God (Reich Gottes) to a mustard seed and to leaven. These parables characteristically claim that God's reign ...
A.begins hidden and small but grows irresistibly by God's own power, not by human programs
B.can be established through sufficient political effort and organization
C.is identical with the visible institution of the church
D.belongs entirely to a distant future and has no present effects
Explanation: The mustard seed and leaven parables stress contrast between insignificant beginnings and world-embracing results, crediting the growth to God's action rather than human achievement. They support the 'already and not yet' structure of Christian hope named in LehrplanPLUS Lernbereich 13.3.
