Online Denominational Research

In a thread in the "Other Religions" forum, we talked a little (and argued at lot!) about information from the World Christian Encyclopedia: A Comparative Survey of Churches and Religions in the Modern World (David Barrett, George T. Kurian, Todd M. Johnson (Editors), Oxford University Press, 2001, 1730 pp.).

I want to paste a link to some of that information that is available online at:

World Christian Database

The site can be searched; data can be formatted and sorted, etc. This is a research tool some of you will like.

Don't know; it wasn't like that yesterday when I used it. Now everything asks for a username and password. Try the "contact us" link at the bottom and e-mail someone. Looks like they may have gone to paid subcriptions to access certain data.

right under the search bar is this little tidbit...

Full data access is free for a limited time.

perhaps this is why some have access to the info w/o the need for a password and some need it...but this is just MHO

God Bless!!!
