Basic History
Religion Online is moderated by William F. Fore. This Web site came about while he was teaching at the United Theological College in Bangalore, India, in 1997. Fore discovered that books were almost impossible for students and professors to obtain. When he checked out religious resources on the Internet, he found that most sites only refer people to other sites. There were very few sites providing actual texts, and even fewer with scholarly material written by recognized scholars. So Fore created Religion Online.

Basic Beliefs
Religion Online is designed to assist teachers, scholars and general "seekers" who are interested in exploring religious issues. The site boasts an extensive library of resources, representing many different points of view, but all written from the perspective of sound scholarship. While the initial orientation was to seek material written primarily from a Christian perspective, ultimately the scope has broadened to include material on all the world's major religions.

Basic Facts
At present there are more than 4,000 chapters, monographs, speeches and articles online. The site serves more than one million visitors each year, including requests from more than 400 colleges, universities and schools of theology in the United States, and another 200 throughout the world.

Religion Online is made possible by the voluntary services of its editors. Support for the Internet Service Provider and other operational costs are provided by a grant from the Claremont School of Theology, located in Claremont, California. Otherwise, no money changes hands, either for services or for use of the documents.
