This title aims to help students prepare for the GCSE short courses in religious education. The addition of five new chapters in this edition means it now covers almost all of the issues examined by NEAB, MEG, SEG and the Welsh Board. In conjunction with the "Teacher's Handbook", it provides a resource for those preparing for any of the five "Religion and Life" units set at GCSE by London Examinations. The volume provides resource material on Christianity, Islam, Judaism and Hinduism. Each chapter contains "factfiles" on the attitudes of each religion to the topic under consideration. Each topic contains a range of examination-type questions.
