Aristotle Reading List - Leighton Park Philosophy - Home



A Level Philosophy of Religion

Reading List

The books on the list are not exhaustive nor are they listed with the suggestion that you should or even need to read them all. They are there for you to use as a reference point if you feel you would like or might need further reading on a topic. Try and look at the book before you get hold of a copy as the books are at a range of different levels and it is important to find a book you a comfortable with if you are to make much progress.

Books are available in the school library and the department; departmental books can be borrowed with my agreement (there is a sign out sheet for books to keep track of them). If you find a good book that is not on the list, please let me know and I will add it to the list and if you would like any more reading on a certain topic you need only ask. Those books highlighted as bold are those which are highly recommended for this course.
