Philosophy of Religion for AS Level Reviews

Title mention in Dialogue.
The book is a testament to the authors' enthusiasm both for Philosophy in general and for the Philosophy of Religion in particular. The task of introducing philosophical methods and concepts with clarity and coherence is not easy, and the authors embrace it enthusiastically. Their delight in their subject is manifest... and the fruits of their experience are apparent in the text. Paul Fitzpatrick, Open House, August/September 2009.
I cannot recommend [this] text highly enough... gives students the tools to become independent philosophers and if your students don't have copies they are a must! -- Philosophical Investigations
