The Wabash Center, Internet Guide. Quite possibly the best Internet site in the world for the field of religious studies. What makes it especially good is that it was produced and is monitored by a full-time Internet research librarian who has evaluated and selected sites for their quality and reliability.
Particularly helpful for research purposes is its “Top Sites” Page. Go wild with this one!
