Evaluating and Documenting
World Wide Web Resources

NOTE: Excepting those on this list, do not use as sources books by Hindu teachers popular in the West unless you clear it with me first. They are of uneven quality; some are good but some are very unreliable.

You may use the entries below as models for the format of your reference list, but note that I make two deviations from Turabian’s recommended style: (1) I prefer headline style (capitalizing all important words) for all titles, whereas Turabian (10.26-30) calls for sentence style (initial caps only) in many cases; and (2) I use quotation marks around the titles of chapters in books and journal articles. You may follow either style on these points.

16. Christianity and Hinduism

NOT: DO NOT write on Christianity unless you are willing to do research to make sure that your understanding of Christian doctrines and practice is precise. Pick specific aspects of Christianity that can be compared to specific aspects of Hinduism, and read up on them both. If you write on Christianity on the basis of vague general knowledge, you will almost certainly get a very poor grade.
