luluem's "A-Level Religious Studies/Philosophy Reading List"

I was given this list at school – the classification of the ‘difficulty’ of book as well as how relevent they are to the course is subjective, and not necessarily my own opinion. This list is intended to give students a well-rounded understanding of key topics in the fields of theology, philosophy and religious studies.
