Cynthia Eller has performed a valuable service in producing Revealing® World Religions. In this digital multi-media era, students and faculty alike need material like this. I am impressed by the high academic quality of the project, the scope of information included, and the ease with which the material can be navigated.

I have tried a variety of textbooks for my World Religions course, and without question Cynthia Eller's Revealing® World Religions is superior to all of them. Even if Revealing® World Religions were merely a conventional textbook, it would stand out for its comprehensiveness and clarity of writing. But as an interactive CD, it takes a quantum leap forward beyond what any conventional text can offer. Its rich use of media, its interactive exercises and sample test questions, its exhaustive glossary, not to mention all of the conveniences one gets with a computer-based text, free the instructor to engage students in class at a higher level than is usually possible with a conventional textbook.

I've used Revealing® World Religions twice, and the more I reflect on how it streamlined some of the more onerous tasks of teaching (e.g., the pressure to "cover" basic information and tediously to document that students gained some mastery of it), the more I'm convinced I won't teach World Religions (or Western Religious Traditions) without it.

Revealing® World Religions provided the students in my Hinduism-Buddhism class with the right combination of history, theology, culture & arts to provide them a basis for reading the primary sources that were the focus of the course. The students enthusiastically endorsed Revealing® World Religions as an alternative to a textbook. I appreciated being able to confirm when, where, and how long students were using the courseware. I look forward to using it again, especially with more primary sources on the courseware.
