Religions Of The World

As I noted a while back when showing off a terrific web resource about us humans, the BBC World Service continues to amaze and fascinate.

If you have any interest or questions about various religions around the world, the BBC World Service's Your Guide to the Religions of the World will provide you a great deal of information and perspective. Besides text, the site offers multimedia presentations as well, many originally aired on the BBC New Service.

Listening to a family talk about their preparations for Ramadam was most intriguing. I learned a great deal from a capsule biography of the prophet Muhammed. And there was much, much more.

The other major religions covered include Hinduism, Judaism, Buddhism, Christianity, and Sikhism.
