The Hall of Church History

"Theology from A Bunch of Dead Guys -- The truth about God is timeless and the best of the men featured here knew that. Though they are dead, they still speak. Scripture was their supreme rule of faith. Their theological line of descent is clearly traceable from the Reformers, to Augustine, to the Apostle Paul, to Isaiah, to Abraham -- all the way back to the first promise God made to Adam in the Garden." (by Phillip R. Johnson, Curator)

HIS-Net

"Your source to helpful and enlightening Christian Web sites that glorify Jesus Christ, in the hope that God's word is shared with you through the Web pages you visit. Also the home of Christian Banner eXchange, where you may cross-promote your site among kindred spirits." (by HIS-Net Christian Network)

In the Footsteps of the Lord

"In the Footsteps of the Lord provides you with many links to various Christian sites around these United States of America and elsewhere in the world. I do not agree with every single one of them as you will recognize when you come across some of my views. However, I do think that they may all play a part in one's research into the beliefs, theology, denominations, people and apparent contradictions of this huge mass of diversity that we call Christianity. With that in mind, please be critical of every site you visit on these pages: in other words, put each one to the test (preferably against the Bible :) ) -- not with the prime intention of being critical, but of finding the truth." (by Binoy Samuel)

Internet Christian Library

"ICLnet was the original "Christian" internet site, founded in late 1992, and through the work of the staff, the internet became real to many colleges, schools, and churches which had not even heard the word "internet" before that time. It also provided the first online "home" for several organizations, such as Campus Crusade, and Christian Leadership Ministries. It has always been the goal of those at ICL, that the work would continue without gimmicks, or cost to its users. That goal remains the same today. The collection contained herein has been built by the hands and hearts of a few steady colleagues, who have spent thousands of hours reviewing materials, reading books, and visiting websites, simply for the joy of ministry in pointing the way for others' research efforts and enrichment reading. Despite years passing, and all that means for human beings, ICLnet still contains one of the largest and most complete archiving of "classical" Christian materials available on the Internet."

The Internet Sacred Text Archive

"This site is a freely available non-profit archive of electronic texts about religion, mythology, legends and folklore, and occult and esoteric topics. Texts are presented in English translation and, in some cases, in the original language. This site has no particular agenda other than promoting religious tolerance and scholarship... The texts presented here are either original scans from books and articles clearly in the public domain, material which has been presented elsewhere on the Internet, or material included under fair use conditions in printed anthologies... When few or no primary texts are available for a given religion, secondary texts have been included. In many cases, there are no primary texts for a given religion because the tradition is primarily oral. In this case, texts which contain transcriptions or retellings of these traditions have been used. To round out the collection, we have been actively scanning original material from books and articles in the public domain. We have scanned over two hundred books in the past four years." (J.B. Hare)

Jesus Database

"The JESUS DATABASE is an online annotated inventory of the traditions concerning the life and teachings of Jesus that have survived from the first three centuries of the Common Era. It includes both canonical and extra-canonical materials, and is not limited to the traditions found within the Christian New Testament. The goal is to provide a collection of Jesus materials that will be of interest to scholars, to educators, to students, to clergy, to church members, and to the wider public." ((Dr. Gregory C. Jenks)

JewishEncyclopedia.com

"The only free Jewish encyclopedia on the Internet. This website contains the complete contents of the 12-volume Jewish Encyclopedia, which was originally published between 1901-1906. This online version contains the unedited contents of the original encyclopedia. Since the original work was completed almost 100 years ago, it does not cover a significant portion of modern Jewish History (e.g., the creation of Israel, the Holocaust, etc.). However, it does contain an incredible amount of information that is remarkably relevant today."

NET Bible

"What you have in your hands�or on your computer monitor, laptop, or handheld�represents a new approach to Bible translation and a fresh approach to ministry for the new millennium. The NET Bible was created with the Internet in mind. The decision to produce for the first time large quantities of Bibles on Gutenberg�s improved press in 1454-1455 sparked a revolution and provided a dramatic increase in the availability of Bibles and biblical study materials in many languages, but over five centuries later many people throughout the world cannot access Bibles and biblical study materials because of their cost and because some governments attempt to prevent their citizens from ever encountering the Bible. The primary goal of the NET Bible project was to leverage the Internet to meet these two critical needs. The Internet represents the single best opportunity for ministry in history because electronic distribution via the Internet allows free delivery of unlimited numbers of Bibles and unlimited amounts of biblical study materials to anyone worldwide who could otherwise not afford them or access them�for zero incremental cost... The NET Bible was created to be the first major modern English translation available free on the Internet for download and use in Bible studies so that the opportunities provided by the Internet could be maximized." (from the Biblical Studies Foundation)

The Omnilist of Christian Links

"Hi! I'm Keith Arthurs, the programmer behind the Omnilist. The Omnilist has been sort of a hobby of mine, and its also my way of using my computer talents to help out the Christian community. The Omnilist consists of categorized pages, with subcategories of Christian sites listed on each page. I've selected the best sites from the Omnilist, and made them GOLD sites, and other sites that I thought were well done I listed as SILVER sites. I've tried to include a short description of each site to help out in finding exactly the site you're looking for. The directory may be searched using the search form on the main page."

Ontario Consultants on Religious Tolerance

"There are over a million religious web sites on the Internet. Almost all promote a single viewpoint -- that of the webmaster. This web site is an exception. Our goal is religious education, not religious conversion. We try to explain the full diversity of Christian beliefs: from those held by very conservative to very liberal believers. Included also are the beliefs of the very early Christian movement from the 1st and 2nd century CE."

The Religious Movements Homepage Project

"On this extensive Web site you will find detailed profiles of more than two hundred different religious groups and movements. Some of them may be very familiar to you, others not. In addition, there are other valuable resources, including information on "cult" controversies, essays by respected scholars, and teaching resources on which interested visitors are invited to draw. Begun nearly a decade ago in conjunction with a course on New Religious Movements that Prof. Jeffrey K. Hadden had taught at the University of Virginia for more than twenty years, the Religious Movements Homepage Project has grown into an Internet resource for teaching and scholarship that is widely acknowledged as among the finest in the world."

Scriptures.com

"Taking the Word of God to the world via the internet. Placing on the world wide web the entire resources of Scripture in all language translations." (by M.Markham)

Soc.Religion.Christian

"As I understand it, this is a group for discussion of Christianity and issues related to it. It is not per se a Christian group. By that I mean that contributions from non-Christians or those that other Christians would regard as "heretical" are welcome. However they should be relevant to Christianity. A number of Christian believe I should enforce some doctrinal standards. There are three reasons why I do not: 1. Tradition. This group was created by a vote, and many of the people voting for it would not have consented to a moderatorial policy that judged postings based on their theological views. 2. Usenet and University policy. Usenet uses lots of resources of various universities and governmental agencies. It would be inappropriate to use these resources for an activity that discriminates against posters based on their religious views. 3. Which standards? This group is used by Christians from all the major traditions, including "liberal", "conservative", Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox. It's difficult to imagine doctrinal standards that would not exclude some of those groups. I take a wide definition of Christianity. For the purposes of this group it includes Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, Quakers, Christian Science, etc."
