Anyone studying theology and religious studies is frequently confronted with the daunting task of mastering new and unfamiliar terminology. While some textbooks include glossaries to aid the introductory student, many educators assign classroom texts that assume students' prior knowledge of key terms.

Spanning the gamut from 'Aaron' to 'Zwingli', this dictionary includes nearly 3,000 entries written by some sixty authors, all of whom are specialists in their various theological and religious disciplines. The editors have designed the dictionary especially to aid students with instant access to definitions of terms likely to be encountered in classroom presentations or reading assignments.
