Recenzje

A reassuring textbook from authors who are teachers and know how to challenge students to enable them to access the highest grades. It will be invaluable to any teacher of the OCR course, and those who teach similar material for other boards.
Keith Noakes, Latymer Upper School

′This is a comprehensive, systematic, and yet accessible unpacking of the specification that has plenty in it to satisfy both the diligent student and the demanding teacher.′
Richard Gray, author and Senior Examiner

Philosophy of Religion for OCR is that rare thing: a textbook that challenges students to actively and critically engage with the philosophy of religion, while also supporting and guiding them towards examination success.
Emily Bellieu, Forest School
