RELIGIONS
OF THE WORLD CD-ROM -
This CD-ROM is divided into two main sections, Aspects of Religion and
Contemporary Issues.
The Aspects
of Religion section opens with a menu screen which features
an introductory video for each of the following eight religions:
Buddhism, Shinto, Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Sikhism,
Islam, and Confucianism. From this screen the student can
access the main body of the program which provides extensive
coverage of key aspects of each religion as a living faith.
Each religion can be investigated under the same headings:
people, worship, festivals, and so on. There is also a
feature that allows the student to view specially recorded
interviews with followers of each faith.
The Contemporary
Issues section examines the ethical beliefs of six of the
world's religions. The programs allows the student to view
text as well as images from two different religions side
by side on the screen, and compare their approaches to
the same topic.
This
CD-ROM is a great resource for students who are currently
enrolled in Religious Studies.
