There is not enough information on the views of different philosophers in this book to get a high grade. If certain questions came up, using this book alone would not have enough content for you to write an AS level essay. It basically gives a summary about each part of the specification

These are both good, accessible books for this course and should provide a basic reader for all students. Whilst not cheap they do cover both sides - Ethics & Philosophy so are more cost effective for those with worries in this respect. I think, for the highest grades, you'll need to supplement these with some more academic readers or else access the Dialogue (am I allowed to mention this material)magazine as the information here is fairly standard. The tasks are very good, obviously for class work, but also to streamline private study and research. The other OCR recommended books are more detailed and are, in my opinion, probably slightly less easy to access, but are more detailed and a better resource for higher grades. They're more expensive but cover AS and A2 by subject rather than by year, so if you're planning on just doing yr 12 you may be better off buying the Ina Taylor ones, especially if money is an issue. I do teach this course and am slightly anxious about endorsing any text book - so may I just add that no single text is a substitute for hard work, reading primary sources, keeping up with the intelligent media and also supoorting your study by reading quality fiction from erm... bookshops!

I highly recommend this book for anyone taking the Religious Ethics and Philosophy of religion modules of the new style OCR AS level Religious studies which is what I am taking this summer.
It covers every part of the specification you need(I suggest all students should check it out on the OCR site) and has a simple layout, links to other helpful sources and question answering help for "part A" questions especially. It is fairly comprehensive and I have checked it against the spec.
Please do not rely on this book totally and particuarly do extra research and get lesson notes for the more open "Part B" questions. This book won't get you an A grade on its own but it is a great start for getting your head round or revising the topics.
It gives help on how to achieve each assesment objective and does tell you to do research on various things. It does sometimes seem slightly "GCSE textbook" like but overall anyone who is taking this combination for AS level would be mad not to buy it!
