Recent Reference Books in Religion - A Guide for Students, Scholars, Researchers, Buyers, & Readers (Hardcover, 2nd edition)

"Recent Reference Books in Religion" provides incisive summaries and evaluations of more than 350 contemporary reference works on religious traditions ancient and modern that have been published in English, French and German.
For maximum usefulness to readers, Professor Johnston has broadly defined religion to include not just the world religion of Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism but also such alternative approaches as mythology, folklore, and the philosophy of ethics.
Each entry, analyzing a particular work, includes full bibliographic details as well as commentary: outstanding articles and contributors are highlighted, strengths and weaknesses are carefully noted and weighed. Readers are directed to volumes whose strengths and weaknesses are carefully noted and weighed. Readers are directed to volumes whose strengths complement the weaknesses of others.
An indispensable guide in any religious studies collection, "Recent Reference Books in Religion: 2nd Edition" includes works published through the end of 1997. It also includes a Glossary that describes types and functions of refernce books, and five indexes: Titles, Authors, Topics, Persons and Places.
