Religion and Society Third Edition Reviews

Myself and the department find this new edition excellent! We find the book both concise and user friendly in the process of helping create a more academic approach to this complex subject matter which can be broken down into sections which are easy for the students to digest. * Frank Meehan, Mount Carmel RC High School, Lancashire *
It gives pupils a much broader knowledge base and supports what they already think they know! * Sarah Rhodes, Kingstone School, Barnsley *
The pupils like this book and the pictures help them to know what the topic is trying to say to them. * Mrs C Furniss, Silverdale School, Sheffield *
Very useful with some sound advice for students sitting the exam. * Amazon reviewer *
