Product Description
Product Description
A study of the nature of philosophy of religion, designed to be easy to understand and covering many of the key issues at the heart of this subject including: does God exist?; can God be experienced?; do miracles occur?; is there life after death?; how can we talk about God? Throughout the text there are numerous panel sections to help understanding of critical themes, or to challenge readers to consider their own thoughts on specific issues, or answer questions on their own or within small groups. Further preparations for the examination requirements of the philosophy of religion option is offered in question sections at the end of each chapter. There is also a revision section containing diagrammatic summaries to help students reinforce their understanding of the main themes.

As an A level student, i use this book in my studies and find it very useful indeed. The book contains a great breadth and depth of knowledge as well as highliting key points that are needed as well as suggesting things for students to consider as they study. The book is brilliant, it lessens the shock often experienced when going from GCSE to A level and makes the study of this extreemely complicated and deep subject fun and interesting. I would strongly reccomend this book to anyone studying A level Philosophy or RS or even anyone with a passing interest in the subject as all complicated terms are explained at the side of the page wherever they are used. This also aids in recollection a great deal and is very usefull in exams and coursework.

We are presently studying philosophy within our theology course, the book has been an inspiration to our group of whom a quarter of the class have chosen to study philosophy at degree level. We are particularly interested in the Neil Lockyer chapters and so is our teacher! The layout of the book provides the imperative knowledge essential to our course and exams. The format of the arguments for the existence of God is set out well and makes it easier to learn from. We look forward to assessing any new books that are presently being written by the authors. All of our theology group wouuld like to recommend this book to any theologians out there. Philosophers Unite!!

This book is being studied at present for A-level for my course, at first I have got to say that I wasn't too impressed with it. I found that the book crammed in too much information & does indeed jump too quickly from one scholar to another without allowing for any summaries of what have just been read. BUT this book has to be given a chance, & this is one thing that I have learnt from philosophy & when studying the book it gives it a different feel to it. This book has been an "infinite creation" of what authors can do & as a special bonus it has revision summaries at the back of the book. The only thing that I would say is that it is a shame that it does not include photos & a paragraph or two from all three of the authors! Well done, especially to Neil Lockyer!!!
