TES review
of
Philosophy of
Religion for Today:
This carefully thought out, engaging textbook for GCSE Religious Studies will provide much-needed support... It addresses the dilemmas surrounding belief with a well-paced but engaging assuredness and the use of analogy in illustrating specific issues is particularly effective. The text is well laid out and attractively presented... This should prove a valuable resource not only for teachers at GCSE level but also at AS and A level. The content and the clearly focussed questions should ensure that students gain a sound, well-structured understanding of the subject.

Mark: A Gospel for Today was reviewed by
RE Today in 2012:
'I would thoroughly recommend this textbook for anyone studying Mark's Gospel.'
'The layout of each page is easy to read with key details bullet-pointed and definitions explained. At the end of the book are "memory test" questions with answers which are a very useful quick summary picking out the key facts.' And 'this will be of immense value to any teacher new to teaching Mark's Gospel, who will undoubtedly find the content clear and will be securely guided in meeting the needs of their students.'

The Today Series:
The best
book
on the
market
We love it!
The book is
great!
[The exam board's] textbook is very thin.
I found myself wanting to read more!
The images are certainly
eye-catching and the style
is relaxed
Students have been inspired by
Mark: A Gospel for Today
It's great to have a
philosophy textbook
that has pictures in it!
The conversational style is absorbing, while difficult concepts are clearly and painstakingly explained, using imaginative examples pupils can understand
Packed full of information; a significant amount of the material is simply not found in other textbooks. I'm much enjoying using it.
