Religion Links:
For a general introduction to a wide variety of faith traditions and some good commentary, see Belief Net .
There are some good blogs that I visit a lot. One is The Immanent Frame, sponsored by SSRC -- it's intellectual, interdisciplinary, but directed to the "general educated reader." Religion in American History is also directed toward the general educated reader but a very different and more accessible style of commentary. I also follow the Baltimore Sun's religion blog, In Good Faith, and the one at the Washington Post, On Faith.
