First published in 1990. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.
**This single-volume encyclopedia contains 977 articles by 135 qualified
scholars of various academic and ecumenical backgrounds, with coverage
extending from New Testament times to approximately 600 A.D. Entries
cover persons, places, doctrines, and practices and include some
articles on modern scholars important to the study of early
Christianity. The entries vary in length, but each begins with a brief
definition, or identification, followed by chronological or topical
development. Excellent short bibliographies following each article give
patristic citations, editions, translations, and studies. The articles
avoid technical language and provide good basic summaries of the
material. This work will be useful for teachers, scholars, and students
as well as for reference work. Recommended for public and academic
libraries.
