“This
site is designed to advance research in matters of religion. As a
global forum that may be accessed instantaneously anywhere, the
internet promises to surpass the impact of the printing press on the
study of religion. Gutenberg made possible the family Bible. The WWW
puts a global library of free information on the desk of anyone with
a computer & internet access.
Efficient
use of these resources, however, requires cataloging. Many
religion-related web pages offer lists of links to sites of related
interest. Some are extensive & a few annotated. Still, important
tools & texts are often published & stashed in out of the way
corners of the web, like here. To locate them one needs something
deeper than a list of favorites, yet more circumspect than a search
engine.
This
Virtual Religion Index is a tool for students with little time. It
analyzes & highlights important content of religion-related
websites to speed research. Hyperlinks are provided not only to
homepages but to major directories & documents within. Our
purpose is not to circumvent tours of worthy sites, but to cut down
the time spent on surfing & sorting of automated searches. After
all if you know what source has information you can use, chances are
you will visit it more often. We offer this free service in hope that
you will come here again & again.”
