An encyclopedia of religion

the long version

"This volume will be a "must" book for every city library, however large or small, for college, university and seminary libraries; for the desk of every minister of whatever faith or denomination; for teachers of religion, philosophy, history, and subjects dealing with the humanities; for teachers in church schools, Sunday and parochial schools; for social workers and educators; and for the book-shelf, however modest its size, of every cultured home where conversations turn naturally and frequently to questions of religion, religious faith and practices. All articles are written by contributors who are especially qualified and sympathetic with their topics... One hundred and ninety scholars have shared in the preparation of this work for publication."
