"Faithology is a unique and useful contribution to the resources available for teaching world religions," said Muriel Schmid, University of Utah Director of Religious Studies. "It is both descriptive and comparative, and includes many more traditions than we usually see."

Faithology's research articles are compiled by scholars with academic backgrounds in religious studies and are trusted and endorsed by educators. The content is intended to enrich both personal and academic study, and offers new methods of learning.  Community pages serve as a public forum where visitors of all faiths and backgrounds are invited to engage in interreligious dialogue.

"In this day and age, everyone should have access to a reliable resource for information on religions at their fingertips," said Brandon Marling, Faithology President and CEO. "The Faithology platform acts as a global classroom for those seeking to expand their knowledge of world religions."
