Most recent version of whatever is Online in sacred space,
By Dr. Mohamed Taher (Toronto) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Religion Online: Finding Faith on the Internet (Paperback)
Congrats. This book facilitates a) introducing the topic of cyber space in sacred mosaic, and b)leads the readers to a higher platform. Democratic vistas calls for information access. The book in hand does fulfill this indeed. It is for the reader, surfer, viewer, to move on (if they desire to find virutal realities) in synchronous and seemless environments.
