RELIGION

• Catholic Encyclopedia - Includes section on the Church Fathers, Summa Theologica, etc.
• Catholic Information Center on the Net - Features Catholic online books, history, teachings, news, organizations, etc.
• The Date of Easter - From the website, "The commonly stated rule, that Easter Day is the first Sunday after the full moon that occurs next after the vernal equinox, is somewhat misleading because it is not a precise statement of the actual ecclesiastical rules."
• Jesus Through the Centuries
• Perspective on the World of Jesus - Into his own - From Rutgers University.
• Religious Statistics - From the website, "Adherents.com is a growing collection of over 41,000 adherent statistics and religious geography citations -- references to published membership/adherent statistics and congregation statistics for over 4,200 religions, churches, denominations, religious bodies, faith groups, tribes, cultures, movements, ultimate concerns, etc.

  Basically, researchers can use this site to answer such questions as "How many Quakers live in Indiana?", "What are the major religions of Nigeria?", or "What percentage of the world is Buddhist?" We present data from both primary research sources such as government census reports, statistical sampling surveys and organizational reporting, as well as citations from secondary literature which mention adherent statistics."
