The Encyclopedia of Christianity, Volumes 1-3 in now available from Logos in our Libronix Digital Library System format. This groundbreaking work is the result of the efforts of scholars from Germany and around the world to create the go-to reference for the history and changing face of Christianity throughout the ages. The original German language edition has been translated into English and edited for this audience.
In addition, this version contains new articles by American and British scholars that address topics of interest to English-speaking readers. The Encyclopedia of Christianity is co-published by Eerdmans and Brill and is rapidly becoming one of the most oft-referenced titles among today's religious scholars. The printed version will be five volumes, but thus far only three have been released. When the final two volumes are released in print, Logos will release them as a separate electronic title.
The Encyclopedia of Christianity is truly staggering in its scope. The work contains everything from commentaries on the Bible to articles on theology, history, linguistics, archaeology, demographics and a range of ecumenical topics. It even includes articles on almost every country in the world with breakdowns of the religious practices of their populations
From a reference standpoint, you'd be hard pressed to find another work that is as wide-ranging and far-reaching in the number of topics it covers. The seven editors of The Encyclopedia of Christianity, all internationally acclaimed scholars in their own right, have worked hard to ensure that this title will become a treasured tome for all who own it. It is an essential tool for the pastor, serious Bible student, seminarian, lay leader or anyone else with a passion for religious study.
