Christian Thought OCR Study Guide H573/3 Peter Baron

The OCR Christian Thought Study Guide is designed to help GCE A level students ask the right questions by unpacking key issues and linkages according to structures of thought, and by doing the exercises, to build essay-writing skills step by step. The major themes of human nature, the nature of evil, revelation, gender, secularism and liberation theology are unpacked carefully paying particular attention to the world-views from which ideas emanate, and then elucidated with continuous reference back to the specification. Links are made to other papers in order to develop a sense of one holistic specification. The specification is interpreted with clarity in order to go deeper where necessary to give the best chance of an A grade. Much more than a textbook, this guide is an exploration of critical issues surrounding Christianity and its influence on today's culture. Detailed evaluation helps build the critical sense and the book comes with its own website of additional material, peped.org. An essential book for those who wish to be liberated to think philosophically, with rigour and flexibility.
