4.0 out of 5 stars This book balances scholarship with a jargon- free approach, 28 Jul 2002
By Mr. M. F. O'ROURKE "michaelorourke83" (Liverpool, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is ideal for anyone from A Level students upwards who want to know more about the philosophy of religion and certain themes in the study of Theology and is an excellent preparation and companion for anyone about to begin studying either philosophy or Theology.

As a Theology and religious study student, at degree level, there are so many books that are found in student reading lists that are hard going and which are full of complicated theories and arguments. But this book uses clear language and perfect analogies.

Mel Thompson explains everything from the topic of Religious language to arguments for the existence of God, the problems of evil and suffering, to problems which science place on religion, and does so in a manageable easy to understand way. Balancing scholarship with a jargon- free approach Thompson makes even the most profound arguments accessible to readers of all levels.

This book can be used as a textbook or as a revision book. Using clear paragraphs, bullet points and summary pages Thompson certainly succeeds in getting complicated theories across.

If you are a student on or about to take a Philosophy/Theology and religious studies course from A level upwards or anyone wanting to learn more about these topics this book is a must!!

4.0 out of 5 stars A clear and consise book that is easy to understand., 17 Oct 2001
By A Customer
This book was my saving grace through my A Levels and is also one of the books that I have referred to time and time again throughout my Theology and Religious Studies degree.
Thompson explains everything from the topic of miracles to life after death to the existence of God in an easy to understand way.
So many of the books that are found in student reading lists at the moment are very heavy going and full of very complicated theories that make your brain hurt, but this book is perfect bedtime reading! I guarantee that if you read a chapter of this book before you go to bed, you'll go to sleep with a clearer understanding of Philosophy of Religion and sweet dreams will be had by all!
