Author Description

The comprehensive Brill Dictionary of Religion, ed. by Kocku von Stuckrad and Robert R. Barr addresses religion as an element of daily life and public discourse. With more than 500 entries and many illustrations and charts, the dictionary is a multi-media reference source on the many and various forms of religious commitment. It addresses not only the different theologies and doctrinal declarations of the official institutionalized religions but it also gives equal weight and consideration to a multiplicity of other religious phenomena.
