The transition from RE A level, or from entirely alternate roots
(many RS students have not taken previous RS related courses), to
Religious Studies at university requires some careful shepherding.
The field is huge. This introductory book will provide a clear map
for the key features of the terrain. The two main strands shaping
the book define what religions are and explain how Religious
Studies approaches the religions. The language is clear at the same
time as introducing some of the key terminology used in the study
of religions. This book would therefore appeal to school/college
Religious Studies students as well as those completely new to the
subject who seek a short introduction to the range of approaches to
Religious Studies that they are likely to encounter at university.
The study of religions and the academic discipline of Religious
Studies are growing areas in tertiary education in the UK. The
continued interest in RE AS and A level as well as the growth in
cognate humanities and social sciences, such as Psychology,
Sociology, Philosophy, at AS/A level and GNVQ level indicates the
significant interest amongst students on matters that pertain to
culture and humanity in general. Students realise that religion is
a driving force in contemporary culture and the study of it is
central to understanding the contemporary world. The statistics on
religious belief bear out their interest: four billion out of the
six billion people who inhabit the world profess religious belief;
even in the 'secular' societies of the Western world religiosity is
growing and changing - a recent BBC poll stated that 70% of people
in the UK believe in a 'higher being' or spiritual force. Key
features 1. Concise descriptions of religions 2. Clear explanations
of key Approaches 3. Detailed explanation of study skills 4.
