    AQA Religious Studies: Unit 3H & Unit 4B, Religion in Contemporary Society
    Can I first off complain about how LITTLE resources there are for this course?

    I cannot find ANY books for this unit. Can anyone please recommend books, websites or anything that'll help?

    I can kind of cope with 3H since I can pick up any book that discusses shariah law and women in islam but I need help for 4B

    It's been a while since you posted and nobody's replied yet...maybe you should check out MarkedbyTeachers.com, TSR's sister site. It has the largest library of essays in the UK.

    They've got over 181,000+ coursework, essays, homeworks etc.. all written by GCSE, A Level, University and IB students across all topics. You get access either by publishing some of your own work, or paying £4.99 for a month's access. Both ways give you unlimited access to all of the essays.

    All their documents are submitted to Turnitin anti-plagiarism software, so it can't be misused, and the site's used by hundreds of thousands of UK teachers and students.

    What's more, you can take a look around the site and preview the work absolutely free. Click here to find out more...

    Hi I'm a teacher of social sciences and I've been asked to 'develop' A level Religious studies so I understand how you feel.

    There is loads of info in the A2 Sociology book written by Westergaard and Webb on sociological approaches to religion - which this unit really is. I'm also doing the philosophy of religion unit, i'm doing this as i've taught bits of philosophy and psycho-anlaysis. For the second year i'm going to do religious ethics and fundamentalism, the latter of which is covered in sociology textbooks.

    My advice would be look through sociology textbooks.
