If you are not sure what religion you want to research, you can start by using a religion encyclopedia or dictionary to get ideas. You can just read the introduction of the encyclopedia or look through the table to contents to get some ideas.
Use Gale eBooks to Launch Your Research
The specialized encyclopedias available on the Gale eBook are a perfect place to launch your research. You'll find overviews of the beliefs and practices of the world's many religions, as well as historical information and membership statistics.
All of these resources are free for you and available whether or not you are on or off campus. If you are off campus, you will login to databases just like you do for Canvas or your school email.
