The third edition of this perennially popular textbook brings it bang up to date. Since it was first published, Dimensions of Christianity has become an essential foundation text for GCSE Religious Studies - both for teachers and students. This new revised edition has
- been updated to keep pace with world events
- a redesigned layout
- an updated Church documents section
That Dimensions of Christianity has proved such a phenomenal success is largely down to Sister Anne Burke's practical, common sense approach to Religious Studies. She has used her own experience of teaching and examining GCSE courses and has also listened and responded to what fellow teachers say.
This is a user-friendly book which is clearly set out. It gives teachers the security of knowing that the essential examination requirements are covered while at the same time stimulating imaginative and creative lessons. Much of the text is also summarised in the form of charts and illustrated diagrams which can help less-able pupils. Each section rounds off with a conclusion drawing together the key facts, questions which follow guidelines in the National Criteria for GCSE, and a list of further suggested reading.
