Edited by F. L. Cross and E. A. Livingstone

It will come as no surprise to those already familiar with earlier
editions (1957, 1974) that the third edition of this title remains
unrivaled as the authoritative one-volume dictionary of the Christian
church, its doctrines and practices, and its most influential historical
figures. In addition, the reader will find a host of entries pertaining
to the Bible and its world. Because of the rise of theologies of
liberation since the publication of the second edition, and because of
a growing awareness of the need to heed Christian cultures often
regarded as on the fringes of Christendom, many doctrinal articles have
undergone revision and many have been added. Prominent Evangelicals have
also been included (though, owing to this work's decidedly historical
thrust, only rarely does the name of a living figure appear).
