A second edition of this successful title, revised to support the requirements of the 2009 OCR GCSE Religious Studies specification B, Philosophy 1 and Philosophy 2. Philosophy through Christianity for OCR B GCSE Religious Studies: Second Edition can be used to deliver the short course for OCR GCSE RS B in philosophy. It delivers the course through Christianity only, and therefore provides an in depth look at the issues in question. The book has a range of activities to engage the students; from key questions, discussion points, research tasks, extension activities to exam questions. Personal accounts of beliefs and experiences intersperse the main text to allow students to relate to the material they are reading. Each unit is summarised in the form of revision 'cards' to give students a 'snapshot look' at what they have just learned and need to learn for the exam. This book can be combined with Ethics through Christianity for OCR B GCSE Religious Studies: Second Edition to provide support for the full course. Contents: Topic 1: The Nature of God Topic 2: Religious and Spiritual Experience Topic 3: The End of Life Topic 4: Good and Evil Topic 5: Religion, Reason and Revelation Topic 6: Religion and Science
