  • "A single volume work on so vast a subject of course requires condensation and selectivity; this dictionary is intended to provide initial bearings. The editor supplies an in-depth introduction. Eighty-some international contributors representing the major faiths have produced over 8,200 entries, each with at least one bibliographical reference. Articles range from brief descriptions to longer discussion; most offer something more than a definition so that the reader can gain some sense of what the item is and why it has been included. Thoroughly indexed by topic."@en
