  Religious Studies for Common Entrance is an authoritative textbook preparing pupils for the compulsory sections of the Independent Schools Examinations Board (ISEB) Common Entrance Religious Studies examination.

  
  
  

  The course covers all the nominated Old Testament and New Testament texts through an investigative approach - providing active learning for the classroom as well as tasks for independent study and revision.

  
  
  

  For each text it provides three components

  a) Encounter: dynamic encounter with the Bible text itself, using a range of techniques including dramatic readings, story strips, and retellings.

  b) Understand: clear explanation of the background to the text and the key ideas and concepts underlying it, leading to engaging tasks which deepen understanding

  c) Apply: connecting these ideas to contemporary moral and social issues. These range from the personal e.g. how to deal with anger or resentment to the global e.g. the imperative to care for the environment.

  
  
  

  Section 3 of the book - People and Issues - profiles significant individual Christians such as Martin Luther King and Cicely Saunders.
