Wikipedia versus the textbook

I believe that wikipedia did a better job of giving a full detailed explanation of the religions Buddhiss, Jainism, and Hinduism. Wikipedia gave very detailed explanations on every aspect of the religion while the book simply gave direct simple explanations in just a few sentences. The book did not go into nearly as much detail as wikipedia did but the book did have some benefits such as being clear and concise on the main points of the religion. This brief explanation allowed it to be easier to learn a broader knowledge of the religion but did not let you know specifics. I prefer to be taught by the textbook because it covers a brief explanation of almost everything important in history without weighing us down with too many unnesecary details. However, it is then good to have the internet and wikipedia to have if we need to know more details on a certain section such as this exercise of exploring these religions.
