Hume on Religion, the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy's entry on David Hume's philosophy of religion, is a continuously maintained and editorially reviewed reference work. Its strength is that Stanford Encyclopedia entries are written by specialists and subject to an editorial board's ongoing review, distinguishing them from an open wiki. Its limit is that, like any reference article, it summarizes a large secondary literature rather than substituting for Hume's own primary texts, which a reader wanting Hume's own words should read directly. This record's author field was corrected in this pass from a name matching no listed author of this entry to its real, currently listed authors, Paul Russell and Anders Kraal, confirmed directly against the encyclopedia's own citation information page; the title, url and publication year were already accurate.
