Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dictionary is a thoroughly revised and expanded edition of the book published in 1984 as the Penguin Dictionary of Religions. It has undergone substantial change and considerable expansion, doubling the number of contributors from all parts of the world. In the study of religions, substantial changes have occurred in the last decade, and these are reflected in the book, with new sections on Afro-Caribbean religious movements, changes in North America, traditional religions in Latin America and new movements in Japan. The dictionary also addresses broad thematic issues: migration and diaspora, gender and sexuality, mysticism and pilgrimage. Recent advances in scholarship are included, and notable revisions or new commissions cover Hindus, Buddhism, Early Christianity, Jains, Gnostics and New Religious movements in the West. Established in its previous edition as the standard reference work for students and teachers of the world's religions, this newly revised and expanded edition is an essential reference source. It has a full bibliography, index and synoptic index, as well as numerous maps and diagrams.

Book excerpt: A Dictionary of Religion and Ethics is designed to be the ultimate reference book for religious students and scholars, edited by Shailer Mathews and Gerald Smith. From "Ab, Ninth Of" to "Zwingli, Huldreich," this dictionary contains thousands of terms of importance in religion and ethics. While Biblical terms seem to make up the largest component of this reference guide, Christian words are by no means the sole focus of the dictionary. What the editors refer to as "important terms used in primitive and foreign religions" are also included in this collection. While the words of non-Christian religions are not as prevalent as Christian words in A Dictionary of Religion and Ethics, the world's religions are still mostly well represented. A Dictionary of Religion and Ethics is a valuable tool for anybody engaged in religious studies. This book makes the perfect companion piece for the study of any religious text. The definitions are clear, well written, and serve to expand the knowledge of the reader. This dictionary is highly recommended for all students and scholars of religion as well as those interested in having a better understanding of the meaning of religios terms from various religions.
