Successor to the highly acclaimed "Encyclopedia of Unbelief"
(1985), edited by the late Gordon Stein, the "New Encyclopedia of
Unbelief" is a comprehensive reference work on the history,
beliefs, and thinking of America's fastest growing minority: those
who live without religion. All-new articles by the field's foremost
scholars describe and explain every aspect of atheism, agnosticism,
secular humanism, secularism, and religious scepticism. The topics
include morality without religion, unbelief in the historicity of
Jesus, critiques of intelligent design theory, unbelief and sexual
values, and summaries of the state of unbelief around the world.
Over 130 respected scholars and activists world-wide served on the
editorial advisory board and over 100 authoritative contributors
have written in excess of 500 entries.;In addition to covering
developments since the publication of the original edition, the
"New Encyclopedia of Unbelief" includes a larger number of
biographical entries and much-expanded coverage of the linkages
between unbelief and social reform movements of the 19th and 20th
centuries, including the labour movement, woman suffrage,
anarchism, sex radicalism, and second-wave feminism. The
distinguished contributors are philosophers, scientists, scholars,
and Nobel Prize laureates. With a foreword by evolutionary
biologist and best-selling author Richard Dawkins, this
unparalleled reference work provides comprehensive knowledge about
unbelief in its many varieties and manifestations.
