Written by practising members of the six major world religions, this is a multi-faith approach to social and moral issues, for students aged 14-16. The variety of opinions, problems and differing points of view are designed to help students understand the issues and enable them to develop and express their own views and opinions. The many activities include discussion topics for group and class work. Among the topics covered are the family; peace and conflict; mankind and nature; work, health and leisure; evil and suffering; the individual in society; and social ideals.
