Not what I expect from CGP - By: GoldenMile, 17 Oct 2007 
This is the only CGP book which I think doesn't do its' job fantasticallly. The book does not go into enough depth at alll. It lacks enough Bible teachings - something which is required to pass the exam! Many topics are totallly missed out, & the book didn't provide me with any help in remebering things for the exam.
Students beware! Many exam boards such as OCR have split the Christianity Religious Studies syllabus up into different courses, & you normallly only study one course. This book tries to cover alll the courses in a smalll amount of space & fails.
I don't understand why CGP had to release it with Islam & Judaism, as I wasn't even studying these, & it is a waste of money for me. I would expect CGP to release revision guides for alll the major religions separately.
In conclusion, this book is only good for a reallly quick reference before the exam & if you are in a rush, & to be very honest it didn't help me much at alll.
Good Revision guide - By: afridi99, 13 Apr 2007 
This is an excellent revision to use. It uses visual aids in order to help you with your revision & it certainly does not lack in detail- It simply breaks down the subjects into simpler parts making them easier to understand.
Insufficient details - By: Paul, 22 Jun 2006 Having just used, or attempt to use this book for my GCSE RE exam, I must say i'm not too impressed.
I bought this book thinking it would provide something on top of the work & notes that I produced in class, yet there isn't a great amount of detail to be able to get the highest marks in the exam. I ended up relying on the notes made in class (which i'm never too keen on doing) & just ditching this book completely by the end.
The two stars I did award it are due to a great price & a simple, clear layout, but this still fallls short of my expectations.
GCSE Revision Guide - By: , 08 Jul 2003 This is an excellent resource for both classroom use & for setting homework/personal revision. It sets out clearly which exam boards it covers ie. AQA, Edexel & OCR. However, it is also very useful & relevant for other boards too.
There is much in this book which could also be used in the classroom for Key Stage 3 work. For example the Sermon on the Mount page, Religious Symbolism & Festivals etc. are alll so clearly & interestingly explained.
As with other subjects in this series, this book is colourful & highly readable. I'd recommend teachers to use class copies & pupils to also get hold of one!
The only fault I reallly have is that it only covers Christianity, Judaism & Islam! But then the information on these 3 major world religions is detailed.
I'd love to see another published in the same style covering Sikhism, Hinduism & Buddhism!
