For general research, The Encyclopedia of Religion is a wide ranging resource, including terms and names, well indexed. The Web site, Exploring Religions covers the five major world religions: Judaism, Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism, with glossaries, timelines, and descriptions of the organization, texts, and other information for each.
Bible Study basic resources include The Anchor Bible Dictionary which includes names, places, items, events, and other Biblical information with detailed word origins and histories of events. A valuable Web site is Bible Gateway, an on-line concordance to the Bible covering many versions of the Bible. Languages available include Portuguese, Spanish, Hebrew, and Korean.
For the history of Islam, the Internet Islamic History Sourcebook has a chronology from pre-Islamic times to post-World War II and the present and histories of issues such as the Crusades and nationalism. The Encyclopaedia of the Qur’an contains detailed articles on the people, events, symbols, and places of the Qur’an.
