Religious Language Resources
Religious language is an enormously complex topic, far more so than most people might expect. That is part of the fun, of course, but it also makes studying religious language complicated. The Boston University Religious Language Seminar is gathering resources to help others interested in studying and understanding religious language get access to relevant material efficiently. Four kinds of resources are available here.

Web Links
This is self-explanatory for people used to the World Wide Web. The web is a helpful resource but quite confusing at first so a bit of guidance never goes astray. That's what these links hope to provide.
