RELIGION BOOKSThis is a featured page

Choose one book from the list below. Put YOUR NAME at the END OF THE ENTRY that you have selected in BLUE FONT. Locate a copy of it (I recommend Amazon.com used or half.com). Read it and write a book review. See the specs on WebCT for guidance.


Each entry indicates if it is available at Cornell Library, IC Library, and what the cost should be if you purchase it used. You can also get any of these books via interlibrary loan through the IC Library.
