Richard Gray, author and Senior Examiner
"This is a very comprehensive and substantial resource that would be useful for students of all abilities undertaking the AS and A2 OCR units in Religious Ethics. What sets it apart from those already on the market is the level of research gone into the construction of the content it introduces students to a wider commentary on the issues from a range of diverse and contemporary thinkers. This is a book I would definitely use and recommend to my students."
Mohini Qavi, London Academy of Excellence
This is just what teachers of Ethics for OCR A Level are looking for: a clear, academic yet accessible guide to every aspect of the OCR specification. It has distinct advantages over others on the market; normative ethical theory is explained clearly, yet with superb academic rigour, enabling students to engage with debates and develop critical thinking skills. This book will stimulate high-level classroom discussion which will stretch and challenge students, helping them to access the highest grades. Moreover, teachers of ethics courses using other specifications will find a great deal in this book which they can use and adapt for their own courses."
