Preceded by three introductory essays and a chronology of major
events in black religious history from 1618 to 1991, this A-Z
encyclopedia includes three types of entries:
* Biographical sketches of 773 African American religious
leaders
* 341 entries on African American denominations and religious
organizations (including white churches with significant black
memberships and educational institutions)
* Topical articles on important aspects of African American
religious life (e.g., African American Christians during the
Colonial Era, Music in the African American Church)
The biographical sketches range from a paragraph to several pages
for such major figures as Martin Luther King. Entries for the
larger African American denominations are likewise several pages in
length, as are most of the topical articles.
A bibliography of 303 major texts on African American religion
follows the entries, most of which conclude with a list of
references specifically related to their subject. A directory
section provides the current addresses and telephone numbers of the
national headquarters of the churches and organizations covered in
the encyclopedia.
