The internet is a wonderful thing, most of the time. At no other point in history have people been able exchange information with such efficiency. The unfortunate reality, however, is that anyone who has an opinion now has a forum through which to reach people who are searching for answers. This is unfortunate mainly because many opinions are the product of misinformed and (sometimes) dangerous agendas. The field of religious studies, Christian or otherwise, is no exception.
This page will provide links to online resources for those who are interested in religion. I do not begin to claim that these links contain “unbiased” information, as if there is such a thing. However, these resources do contain information that most scholars consider responsible, useful and valid. It is a work in progress, and will most likely change from time to time.
NT Gateway – A site maintained by Marc Goodacre of Duke University. Some of the links on this site are dead and in need of updating, but it still provides a nice jumping-off point.
Greek New Testament (Nestle-Aland 26th edition) – The Nestle-Aland Greek is now in the 27th edition, but the 26th is not terribly different. Plus, this version is free!
Bible Gateway – Some nice search features.
Liddell-Scott Lexicon – A must have for anyone working in Greek. The Liddell-Scott Lexicon is extensive and considered to be highly authoritative.
Text Week – Interested in following the lectionary? This is the site for you. Every week, the editors also include valuable links to commentaries and sermons.
AAR Syllabus Project – The American Academy of Religion has compiled a nice database of syllabi from scholars around the country. Useful if you’re looking for some good readings for religions other than Christianity.
Theology Bibliographies – This is a wonderful site if you’re looking for some reading recommendations. William Harmless is a Catholic Priest from Creighton University.
Games for the Brain — If you’re tired of reading and looking for something to do, this site can provide you with HOURS of non-stop fun. I recommend “Colored Lines.”
