Finding God in Cyberspace
- "This is one of the best WEBSITEs on the Internet for finding
information on religion.
- John Greshnam has built and maintained this website for several
years.
- The section devoted to world religion links to some of the gateways
to information available.
- His site also provides brief annotations."
C & RL News
-
Minnesota State University's Emuseum
- " ... is a kind of introduction to the major world religions.
- The opening page has a "clickable" world map showing how religious
groups are concentrated geographically, with links to the specific
religions: Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, Animism, Christianity, and
Hinduism.
- The information provided on these religions includes history, basic
beliefs, terms, and links to other sites."

-
Wabash Center for Teaching and Learning in Theology and Religion
- "Wabash Center maintains this excellent and large site.
- There are probably more world religion sites here than in any other
general gateway.
- The site is extremely well organized."

Religious Text sites |
-
The Internet Sacred Text Archive
- "Without question, this nonprofit site is the single largest religious
text archive on the Internet.
- The content here is quite broad, talking on religion, mythology, legend,
folklore, occult, and esoteric topics.
- The topical listing of religious materials has 46 categories, not
only dealing with such standards as Jainism but also
such novelties as Piri Re'is Map, Shamanism, and Tantra.
- The site states that it gets about 2,000 unique visitors each day and an
average of 150,000 hits a day."
- C & RL News
-
Religious and Sacred Texts
- "Here is another excellent source for full-text religious writings.
- Interestingly, this collection, while far smaller that the Internet
Sacred Text Archive, in many ways is complementary to it.
- There are a number of resources here, such as the Urantia Book,
that are not found on the Internet Sacred Text Archive.
- It should also be noted that this collection is stronger in Old Testament
and New Testament period texts not found in the Bible."

Jainism |
-
Jainism: Jain Principles, Tradition and Practices
- "This Colorado State University-maintained site is the best on the
Internet in terms of Jain study.
- The links are gathered around ten basic categories, which include such
areas as Jainism introduction, Jain texts, Jain images, Jain pilgrimages,
Jainism in the eyes of others, directories and lists, slides, and regional
organizations.
- The listed directory items seem quite small, but this seemingly negative
feature also allows the searcher to browse through larger sections at a
time (providing his or her eyesight is fairly good)."

Jewish Studies |
-
eBooks: Jewish History, Religion, Culture
reference books, textbooks, other books, all online!!!
-
The Jewish Virtual Library
- "This library once it is entered, is more like a living encyclopedia
than it is anything else.
- One has options to click on, such as history, women, biography, politics,
Israel, maps, and Judaic Treasures at the Library of Congress, with each
launching a person into a different realm.
- The site is extremely well put together."

Judaism and Jewish Resources
- "Andrew Tannenbaum's site has been the premier gateway to Jewish
resources on the Web or many years.
- When printed, the links comprise 29 pages of text.
- What makes that more impressive is that Tannenbau, has annotated all
of the pages of links.
- Thisis the place to go find resources.
- The table of contents on the first page is helpful in that one can link
directly to the part of the site one wants to visit (say. "Jewish Studies").
- It is a nearly flawless site."
- C & RL News |
Shi'ites |
-
Shi'ite Encyclopedia
- "The encyclopedia can be viewed section by section, or it can be
searched by keyword or concept.
- It also is available for download as a zip file.
- One can tell that a good deal of effort went into the encyclopedia
by the size of the document and the efforts that have been made to
make available for searching and accessibility."
- C & RL News |
Sikhism |
-
Gateway to Sikhism
- "The Gateway to Sikhism is among the best resources for finding
material on the Sikh religion.
- The site is organized around key Sikh subjects and themes, such as Sikh
gurus, Sikh history, Sikh way of life, Sikh scriptures, and Sikh
youth.
- There is also a search engine feature."
- C & RL News
-
Sikhism
- "This resource states that it is "the largest Sikhism resource for Sikh
and non Sikhs alike."
- In my own research, I would tend to give that honor
to the Gateway to Sikhism listed above.
- Nonetheless, this really is a good, if not great, site, offering helpful
resources on Sikhism of various kinds.
- What is of particular interest is the large collection of
online videos available for viewing in RealVideo format.
- The videos are instructional and devotional and can be viewed from the
computer over a period of several minutes each."

Taoism |
-
Taoism Information Page
- "The title of this site makes it sound as if there is merely general
information on Taoism provided, but that is quite misleading.
- In fact, this is a large and in-depth site offering links for
commentaries and interpretations to the philosophical/religious writings
of the Tao, as well as links to sites on Chinese philosophy in
general.
- Other subjects are also addressed, such as Taoism and modernity,
Buddhism and Confucianism, and Taoism and Martial Arts."
- C & RL News |
Zoroastrianism |
-
Zoroastrianism
- "The single best Zoroastrianism Web resource for good information
is the Zoroastrianism Page.
- Listed at the top of the page are several awards the site has won,
including Study Web's Academic Excellence Award.
- What I have observed over a period of time is that the site keeps
reliable information and is well-maintained."
