NEW RESOURCE: ENCYCLOPEDIA OF RELIGION IN AMERICA

The Department of Religious Studies' Abrams Fund has made possible the acquisition of The Encyclopedia of Religion in America, an online version of this authoritative, multidisciplinary four-part reference resource.

The Encyclopedia of Religion in America provides broad subject coverage of "...the origins, development, influence, and interrelations of the many faiths practiced in North America, including major world religions and emerging sects, cults, and movements." The range of topics extend to many areas of the humanities, making this a valuable resource for a variety of departments, courses, and subjects:

Religion and politics
African American religion
Arts and architecture
Church-state issues
Environment and ecology
Ethnicity
Gay and lesbian issues
Historical overviews
Immigration
Media
Megachurches
New religious movements
Popular religion and culture
Terrorism and war
