Engaging and interesting revision aid
This is a really well put together guide for GCSE religious studies revision. The material is really well designed. The structure is easy to follow and the graphic design good. Indeed all the presentation is excellent and the information clear and well communicated - I wouldn't go as far as saying it will make revision fun but it will certainly make it a lot easier.

Advance topics
I like this book because it discusses advance topics of modern life. I like the discussion on abortion, nuclear weapons and death penalty. It has solid arguments of Christianity and Buddhism . It is an excellent book for GCSc student who want to gain profound knowledge. But it is way too deep study. I like this book.

‘3 steps to GCSE revision success', namely:
(1)~ KNOWLEDGE: Start your revision session with a Knowledge Organiser, which presents and explains all the key information you need.(2)~ RETRIEVAL: Check how much you have really learned with some quick-fire recall questions on the Knowledge Organiser. Test your knowledge of previous chapters to make sure that your revision sticks.(3)~ PRACTICE: Give yourself loads of practice with exam-style questions so that you are exam-ready!’The current stock images above give an idea of the layout.~ ‘HOW TO USE THIS BOOK’ is at the start of the publication, just after the list of 42 topics.‘This revision guide covers all the beliefs and practices from Christianity and Buddhism that students need to know for the AQA GCSE Religious Studies A exam.They will revise everything from the nature of God in Christianity to the Buddha's life in Buddhism.Thematic studies will help them look at themes through the eyes of both religions.’📝 ‘Answers and Glossary:You can scan the QR code at any time to access the sample answers and mark schemes for all the exam-style questions, a glossary containing definitions of the key terms, as well as further revision support...’ooOoo~ AQA/GCSE RELIGIOUS STUDIES A: CHRISTIANITY and BUDDHISM, by DAWN COX (co-author ofthis) & STEVEN HUMPHRYSMeasuring roughly 29.75 cm x 21 cm, the matte-finish, thick card cover opens to 207 good quality pages.Colourful in the presentation but not too busy, the relatively chunky book is packed with REVISION & EXAM TIPS, along with the KEY TERMS that need to be known.Also currently available isAQA/GCSE RELIGIOUS STUDIES A: CHRISTIANITY AND ISLAM

Complex
A fairly thick A4 book, starting off by examining Christian and Buddhist beliefs in separate chapters and then comparing the two. It’s by its nature a very complex topic and you definitely need a revision book and practice questions to sort out the minutiae between the two religions. Buddhism seems fairly laid back and unconcerned with many topics compared to Christianity.

Excellent revision book
So impressed with this revision book. Clearly well written and presented. This revision guide looks at the Christian and Buddhist faiths separately then compares the two together. While this is a very complex subject the book sorts everything out well.
