This page lists a number of sites on the Internet that are useful for the study of Judaism and Christianity. The list is necessarily partial, provisional, and even parochial. A casual glance will show how Penn-centered it is.
It is amazing that this much relevant information already exists on the Internet. Some of this material is brilliant, and much of it is useful. One should realize, however, that most original research must still begin in a good library. The Internet is a good place for discussing research, for testing out approaches, and for sharing the fruits of scholarship. Most of the original material currently available on the Internet is written on the level of an introductory encyclopedia or undergraduate course, but primary sources and scholarly articles and journals are coming on line at an increasing pace. If you cannot find the material you are looking for, check back in a month or two — or else take the initiative to put it on line yourself. We all benefit from well-crafted presentations of useful material.
Robert Harris had made available some useful guidelines for "Evaluating Internet Research Sources."
