Michael Corbett, the first author of Politics and Religion and the creator of this Web site, died in November, 2001, following a courageous battle against cancer. My hope was to maintain the site for the benefit of students and faculty who are using the book, as well as for others who might choose to use it. In some sense, it has also a memorial to my late husband, who was very enthusiastic about using the Web as a tool to enhance students' learning. Politics and religion is not my primary area of academic expertise, and I have found it impossible to maintain this site as well as it should be. Be advised that although the site remains, the links have not been updated since 2002. Some of them are still useful, others are not.
