In all cases the sources are clearly cited and useful notes, including comments about possible textual interpolations, are included."

"The archive includes data about churches, membership, individuals, congregations, and denominations. The attractive, uncomplicated interface facilitates immediate access to data on the general population or selected religious groups, even by first-time visitors." -- Choice

“Created by theology teacher and librarian John L. Gresham, this Web site is a gateway to other Catholic Internet sources. It attempts to cover most Catholic areas of interest and study, from core resources such as the Vatican Web site to general ones on topics such as prayers and theologians, to the most current Catholic blogs. Even though the site is intended to be a selective guide to Catholic Web pages, there are links to so many well-documented and authoritative sites that the word "selective" may be there simply in recognition of the vastness of the Internet.” -- Choice

“Parada's took on a monumental task in ordering classical mythology, and it has earned him a string of awards. He simplifies with lists, maps, drawings, photos, and summaries while offering the intellectually curious a swirl of byways to carry study beyond the literal to social, lingual, and psychological analysis. Key to his impact on the electronic perusal of myth are the aesthetics and accessibility of page layouts and links.” -- Choice

“Religious organizations have long been at the forefront in providing social services to needy Americans. In recent years, these "faith-based" organizations have been allowed to receive federal funding to provide these social services. As a result of this new climate, the Roundtable on Religion and Social Welfare Policy was formed in 2002 with a Pew Charitable Trusts grant to the Research Foundation of the State University of New York.” – Choice

"Virtual Religion Index (VRI) (previously reviewed, CH, Sup'97, 34Sup-056) was launched by Smith (Rutgers) in 1997, before the advent of Google. VRI's goal is to minimize the time spent searching the Web by featuring a selective mix of links to home pages, Web directories, and documents. Smith's brief, informative annotations make this a useful guide, especially for undergraduates. The major subject categories cover topics that one would find in many religion course offerings, such as American religions, biblical studies, archaeology, comparative religion, Islam, and the psychology of religion. Also included are links to reference lists, such as university religion departments and scholarly societies."
