Reviews
". . . rather than arrange words in alphabetical order, it arranges more than 15,000 words of religious import in 512 categories which are organized into five large subfields: 1) Belief, Doctrine, and Spirituality; 2) Churches, Sects, and Religious Movements; 3) The Institutional Church; 4) Worship, Ritual, and Practice; and 5) Artifacts. . . . The date when the word came into use (or became obsolete) is also given for each word." - Theology Digest
