This is a facsimile of the 1817 fourth edition of Hannah Adams's
pioneering harbinger of the scholarly study of religion. The book
surveys the diversity of religion, mostly of historical and
contemporary Christian sects and movements but with significant
inclusions of Jewish, Muslim, and "heathen" religious groups.
Adams's particular contribution was the self-conscious effort to
treat all religious groups on the same level and to avoid explicit
or implicit judgments. She preferred to use self-descriptions where
she had them. It is this non-normative approach that gives the book
its historical value. Thomas Tweed's introduction discusses Adams's
life and sets her and her book usefully in their context. He
includes a helpful guide to the key entries.
