Evaluation of Internet Resources
Electronic Journals in Religion and Theology
Bibliography on
Evaluating Internet Resources—from Virginia Tech University Libraries—extensive
list of links to resources on evaluation
of Internet resources. Highly
recommended.
Criteria for Evaluation of Internet
Information Resources by Alastair Smith
Evaluation of Information
Sources by Alastair Smith—one of the most extensive webliographies on the
Internet on this subject. *Highly recommended.
Thinking
Critically About World Wide Web Resources—by Esther Grassian/UCLA College
Library—one of the best websites on
evaluation of Internet resources. Highly recommended.
Center for Electronic
Resources in Theology and Religion—a growing list of scholarly journals in full
text electronic form. Maintained by the American
Theological Library Association. Highly
recommended.
Academic Info: Religion Gateway
All-in-One Biblical
Resources Search—from the University of Birmingham—this site is
searchable. Recommended.
APS Guide to Resources in
Theology—excellent for browsing, organized by tradition, has links to
websites on manuscripts/papyri/Dead
Sea Scrolls and other textual resources.
Not organized by academic subject.
Lots of denominational
links for mainline Protestant, Catholic and Anglican resources. Recommended.
Christian Internet
Links—from Christian Theological Seminary—organized into the classical
headings of theological disciplines. The websites are scholarly—evidence
that they have been carefully screened.
However, each broad subject heading contains
a rather wide assortment of websites, not in an easily recognized order (this
tends to emerge from the nature of the
Internet). Good for exploring, but
specific topics could be difficult to find in a short amount of time. Recommended.
Christianity
and Western Religion/Philosophy—from Harvard Divinity School—contains an
interesting assortment of links, but not organized
by subject matter. Difficult to predict
whether the Internet researcher will find the desired resources.
Digital Librarian’s Index
to Religion and Philosophy Resources on the Internet—lots of good links,
but not organized by subject. Good for browsing, but not conducive
to systematic research.
‡“Finding God in Cyberspace” by John L. Gresham, MLS, Ph.D.—one of the first subject directories on the WWW for religion and theology. Updated frequently. An award-winning site—still among the best of the best. Highly recommended. Probably the best place to start searching for Internet resources for religion and theology.
CTI Index for Religion and
Theology—annotated index of Internet resources related to religion and
theology. Has rudimentary subject organization. Good for browsing under each subject
area. Lists under each subject area are
selective—should not be
regarded as exhaustive. Watch out for
dead links!
Guide to
Christian Literature on the Internet—especially note the link to Early
Church History, one of the best online collections of patristic resources on the Internet. Recommended.
Highland Baptist Church—Louisville,
Kentucky—by no means the best organized site in this category. However, there are
lots of links to interesting sites in Religion and
Theology—even a section on Lectio Divina.
Internet Links for Seminarians and Clergy—arranged
alphabetically, but lacks annotations that would clearly indicate the contents of selected sites.
Internet Religion Resources—from
Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary.
One of the best sites where links are organized into subject categories. Highly recommended.

for Biblical Exegesis—my own webliography of Internet resources for
exegesis.*

for the Study of Judaism and Christianity—from the University of Pennsylvania—lots
of links to resources
on Religion and Theology, mostly of an academic

categories.

Andover Newton Theological School—one of the best organized webliographies
in religion/theology on the

Internet Theology
Resources—from Saint John’s University/College of Saint Bernard—a good site
for finding patristic and other texts
from the classical Christian tradition.
Information Resources for
Religious Studies—from the University of California at Santa Barbara. Good links to Internet “Gateways” on Religion, as well as
links to a selection of major theological schools.

including government sites. Arranged under broad subject
categories, mostly of a general nature.
Good for browsing, but not helpful for specific subjects.

Resources—from the Theological Consortium of Greater Columbus—a collection of links, most
of them with little or no
annotation. Has several good resources
under “Biblical Studies” and includes links to other major religions.
Links to Theological
and Other Libraries—from the Divinity Library/Howard University
LUSTRE—from the Episcopal
Theological Seminary of the Southwest—arranged by subject links, with numerous
annotations. Especially useful for Anglican/Episcopal resources. Recommended.

Theology—numerous links to resources in world religions.
Religion and Philosophy
Resources on the Internet—from Boston University School of Theology
Religion and
Theology Links—from Blackwell Publishers—large variety of websites, but
especially good for denominational
links and for church history texts. Watch out for numerous dead links!
Religion Guide to
Internet Resources—from Wilfrid Laurier University (Canada)—especially good
for locating Internet
resources on World Religions.
ReligionReligionsReligious
Studies—from the University of Florida—especially useful for finding links
to websites on world religions,
as well as for finding resources for teaching religion/theology.
Religion Resources on the
Web—from the University of San Diego
‡Religious Studies Web Guide—from the
University of Calgary Library—ranks as one of the best on the WWW. Well-organized

Resources/Divinity Library—from Vanderbilt University—arranged according to
subject categories. Under each category, especially note the
“Research Guides.” The bibliographies
are among the best on the Internet for religion and theology. A
top-quality site. Highly recommended.
Theological Links—from the Irish Theological Society. One of the best places for links to theological resources worldwide, including professional societies (whose websites often contain further links to online resources). Also contains a list of theological journals that have an Internet presence. Highly recommended.
Theological Resources—from the Walther
Library, Concordia Theological Seminary. More than simply a good place to find Lutheran resources—there are several links to websites of
interest to all seminarians. The best
feature of this site—each link
has a full-paragraph-length annotation.
Recommended.
