Building on the Oxford AQA GCSE Religious Studies Student Books,
this Revision Guide offers a structured approach to revising. 1.
RECAP: key content from the Student Book is condensed and
re-presented in simple visual styles to make content memorable and
help retention. 2. APPLY: students actively apply the content they
have just revised to build the knowledge and evaluative skills
needed for the exams. 3. REVIEW: regular opportunities to practice
exam questions and review answers direct students to pinpoint any
areas of weakness in knowledge or skills, identifying where they'll
need to concentrate their efforts for further revision. This
Revision Guide is ideal for students combining Christianity and
Hinduism. With all the essential content condensed and made
memorable, and plenty of exam practice, tips and annotated sample
answers, students can feel confidently and prepared.
The Living Faiths series encourages students to actively engage
with religious education by looking into how faiths are practised
and lived in people's daily lives. This Student Book covers
Hinduism through unique real-life case studies of young people and
their families, making RE relevant to KS3 RE Students today. This
Student Book uses an enquiry-led approach to help students relate
to religion through engaging activities, end-of-chapter assessment
tasks, and links to rich audio-visual content.
Age range 9 - 12 years My Hindu Faith is one of 6 titles that
introduce the young reader to the basic beliefs and rituals of the
6 main world religions. The author and photographer have followed
the life of a young girl as she practices her faith with her
family. Sensitive questions about the religion are posed by other
children, that allow for accurate and clear responses. Special care
has been taken to include all of the conventions of real
non-fiction titles including a contents page and glossary. A clever
dual text technique combines running text with speech bubbles
drawing in both the less confident and the confident reader.

When good King Manu prays for God Vishnu to protect the world, his
prayers are answered in a most unexpected way. Vishnu appears as a
small fish that grows and grows, obliging the king to find larger
and larger aquariums to hold him. Eventually, Vishnu reaches a
gigantic size and enters the ocean. He announces that a terrible
flood will drown the world and that Manu should fill an ark with
plants and animals of every species. As in the biblical tale, the
floods eventually subside and peace returns to the earth.

In this magisterial volume of essays, Wendy Doniger enhances our
understanding of the ancient and complex religion to which she has
devoted herself for half a century. This series of interconnected
essays and lectures surveys the most critically important and hotly
contested issues in Hinduism over 3,500 years, from the ancient
time of the Vedas to the present day. The essays contemplate the
nature of Hinduism; Hindu concepts of divinity; attitudes
concerning gender, control, and desire; the question of reality and
illusion; and the impermanent and the eternal in the two great
Sanskrit epics, the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. Among the
questions Doniger considers are: Are Hindus monotheists or
polytheists? How can atheists be Hindu, and how can unrepentant
Hindu sinners find salvation? Why have Hindus devoted so much
attention to the psychology of addiction? What does the
significance of dogs and cows tell us about Hinduism? How have
Hindu concepts of death, rebirth, and karma changed over the course
of history? How and why does a pluralistic faith, remarkable for
its intellectual tolerance, foster religious intolerance? Doniger
concludes with four concise autobiographical essays in which she
reflects on her lifetime of scholarship, Hindu criticism of her
work, and the influence of Hinduism on her own philosophy of life.
On Hinduism is the culmination of over forty years of scholarship
from a renowned expert on one of the world's great faiths.
Holi - the festival of colour - is celebrated by Hindus worldwide
and this book lets children discover how people around the globe

of the festival are all visualised with beautiful photography,
capturing the many ways in which this festival is marked. This
approach offers children a visually arresting and diverse
introduction to one of the most celebrated religious festivals.
Ideal for leisure reads, use in the classroom and to support
cross-curricular studies.
