Rezensionen

"The Encyclopedia of Christian Civilization" is a core addition that is fundamental to any personal, professional, academic, or community library Christian Studies reference book collection." (Midwest Book Review, 2012)

"It will remain a standard work for many decades and should be seriously considered for addition to any reference collection which covers religion, world history, literature or human social development." (Reference Reviews, 27 April 2013)

"[A] magisterial and welcome four-volume set. It features 1,400-plus entries and provides a trove of valuable information in an extremely easy-to-use format. This work provides readers with an excellent place to start their research ... Overall, the essays, from more than 350 contributors, are of excellent quality throughout. The breadth of the work is impressive; it is nicely laid out with a thematic list of contents ... Included are articles on chronological history, geography, denominations, and biography. Interpretive essays delve substantially into key issues, events, places, concepts, and ideas that have driven Christianity over the centuries ... Summing up: Highly recommended. Lower-division undergraduates and general readers."CHOICE
