Religious Magazines

A number of religious magazines have made the jump to the wild world of Web. Here are a few of the many worth investigating:

Christianweek, a Canadian magazine appealing to a diverse Christian population has news and features on line as well as in print.

TricycleThe Buddhist Review is a nicely designed site, with everything from feature articles to "Buddhist Basics," and "Daily Dharma."

Tikkun is a "bimonthly Jewish critique of politics, culture and society," and usually a very good read.
