This page is a list of website links that you might want to use in the upcoming Pathways Class Study of World Religions. It is not required at all to prepare in advance for the class. But you may wish to either explore some of these links before the class or to understand further after the class.

There are many, many books that describe the major religions. The one I will use most often is The World's Religions by Huston Smith. But this is not the only book I am using as a reference.
