Covering the new OCR course specification for the Philosophy of
Religion at AS Level, this book offers a basic level introduction
to the subject. Addressing core and background materials,
biographies and examination notes this is an essential
textbook.This textbook covers the new OCR (Oxford Cambridge and RSA
Requirement) course specification for the Philosophy of Religion at
A2 Level. The book will be published in time for the first teaching
of the new specification in September 2009.Following the AS Level
book already commissioned, the next natural step forward would be
an A2 text. At present there are 8000 candidates for the revised A2
at OCR, and it is at year 2 that the greatest need for an accurate
text exists. Among rivals, there is no specific A2 Philosophy of
Religion book, and in recent years there have been significant
problems for candidates because of errors in other works. It is
also at A2 that there is the need for developed 'Stretch and
Challenge' material - this is not available in other texts which
tend simply to suggest what candidates might read for themselves.
This material is clearly highlighted as additional to the text.
Given that the majority of teachers of this subject are not
themselves philosophers, there is a need for a readable text which
provides sufficient background for both teachers and students.The
fundamental concepts covered include arguments for the existence of
God, including the Ontological, Cosmological, Moral and
Teleological Arguments, as well as challenges to faith from the
Problem of Evil and other sources. Background material from ancient
philosophy and the Judaeo-Christian tradition is explained, and
there are specially developed sections on Verification and Meaning,
The Falsification Debate, Language Games and the Afterlife. The
section on Divine Attributes covers an area that is new to the
course specification. The authors have focused on original sources
to ensure that errors which creep into textbooks by repetition are
avoided.The book will carry three important appendices: guidance on
how to write a philosophy essay; revision notes, examination
advice; and suggestions for further reading.The authors are
well-known as past and present Principal Examiners of the subject.
