Format:Paperback
Studying Philosophy of Religion at AS level could not have been more easy with this easily usable and highly recommended (by all Religion teachers and lecturers i know)A level book. It's side notes break down the text and make revision so much easier when it comes to the final exam. It includes quotes from Philosophers such as David Hume and St Augustine making it a worthwhile and interesting read-even if your'e not studying the subject at A-Level!!! Thumbs up!

Format:Paperback
As a philosophy teacher I am highly sympathetic to the aims of this book. A Level and degree level should differ in complexity and it seems correct to summarise and simplify. Finding myself short of time in teaching the new AQA AS philosophy of religion syllabus I have used Chapter 8 as the most direct way of getting across the problem of evil. This is not to say that I find it superior to Hodder's Introduction to Philosophy, or its predecessor in the Philosophy in Focus series, but rather that it does a good job of condensing the material. In fact, the text needs teasing out but the above really need longer than time restrictions for the new syllabus allow unless students are highly motivated and academic.
I like this book but its brevity is sometimes slightly comical. DZ Phillips for example is summarised in the single pithy phrase that, 'It would never be justifiable to hurt someone in order to help them.' Given that 'The Problem of Evil & the Problem of God' runs to 280 pages this is worthy of Monty Python's summarising Proust competition. Yet, it provides one solution to the complexity v teachability conundrum and must be applauded for its valour.

Good guide
I bought this guide to aid teaching Advanced Higher RMPS in Scotland. Only two of the sections are relevant but they are good and to the point. Read more

Not bad but does contain some errors!
This is not a bad textbook (it is certainly used by a lot of Schools) but it is important to realise that although it says 'OCR Edition' it is not approved by OCR. Read more

What got me through by A Level RS
This book is essential for all taking this subject. Philosophy is very confusing and hard to understand and many take RS as what i call a 'bird course', which they think they can... Read more

Embarassing
This book does not suit me so, as this is my personal review, I give it a low score. The reasons for this score are how (it isn't) useful for the "better students" it seems to... Read more
