The encyclopedia of Protestantism

By Hans Joachim Hillerbrand

Subjects: Protestantisme, Encyclopedies, Protestantism, Encyclopedias, Encyclopédies

Description: "Edited by a Duke University religious scholar with more than 1,000 articles, this encyclopedia does for Protestantism what the New Catholic Encyclopedia did for Catholicism. Topics include biographies, historical data, and organizations, as well as cultural, social, and religious themes. Controversial topics, such as abortion, creation science, and homosexuality, are treated objectively. Topping it off are a thorough index and appendixes containing historical and contemporary statistical data. Nearly 500 contributors worldwide helped create this comprehensive source."--"Reference that rocks," American Libraries, May 2005.
