Get Set For Religious Studies

This book provides a clear introduction to a growing area of study. The transition from RE A level, or from entirely alternate roots, to Religious Studies at university is not a simple one. This introductory book will provide a clear introduction to the huge field of study. The two main strands shaping the book define what religions are and explain how Religious Studies approaches individual religions. The language is clear at the same time as introducing some of the key terminology used in the study of religions. The book includes concise descriptions of religions, detailed explanations of study skills required on Religious Studies courses at University, and a Glossary of key terms. The book will be useful for school/college Religious Studies students as well as those completely new to the subject and who seek a short introduction to the range of approaches to Religious Studies that they are likely to encounter at university.
