Media Reviews
It is a rites of passage text using the big six religions of SCAA and QCA syllabuses: Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, Islam and Sikhism. The rituals and beliefs surrounding birth, commitment, marriage, death and beyond are addressed in short, clear, seperate religion sections as well as generic sections to introduce for instance, attitudes to death. There is plenty of text - but not too much- to get beyond the tabloid headline approach to rites of passage. Ina Taylor has written a text that will be helpful both in Learning about and in Learning from religions. -- T Copley, TES 20000801 It is certainly an attractive and comprehensive book, and it will go straight onto our list of recommended resources for teachers. It fills an important gap, and I am sure many students will find the pages on alternative and humanist ceremonies fascinating, and relevant to their beliefs. -- Marilyn Mason, Education Officer, The British Huma 20000801
