The Long-Awaited Comparative Religions Post

Many who attended the Spirituality and Mental Health Recovery Summit in April asked for a handy go-to guide for the various faiths of the people they serve. This post will be updated as we come across useful guides.

The first is from the University of Washington and includes links to everything from pretty serious scholarship to websites and multimedia:

  1. Comparative Religion: Suggested Resources in Religious Studies  http://guides.lib.washington.edu/religion
  2. Ed Canda's excellent page of links to some of his important work in spirituality and social work:  http://www.socwel.ku.edu/canda/Articles/academic%20Articles.htm
