Reviewed Resources for Students and Teachers

The links provided here are for the purpose of having online material where you can learn what each faith has to say about itself. While these links are not about "religious anthropology" per se, having a knowledge of what each faith believes can be an important tool in many studies of the anthropology of religion.

In the review annotations, I will let the site speak for itself as much as possible.

Mennonite Confession of Faith; Introduction __ "Statements of what Mennonites believe have been among us from earliest beginnings. A group of Anabaptists, forerunners of Mennonites, wrote the Schleitheim Articles in 1527. Since then, Mennonite groups have produced numerous statements of faith. This Confession of Faith in a Mennonite Perspective takes its place in this rich confessional history. The historic creeds of the early Christian church, which were assumed as foundational for Mennonite confessions from the beginning, are basic to this confession as well." - From mennolink.org - http://www.mennolink.org/doc/cof/
