Religion Past and Present

Encyclopedia of Theology and Religion

Edited by Hans Dieter Betz, Don S. Browning, Bernd Janowski and Eberhard Jüngel

This is beyond doubt the definitive encyclopedia of religion worldwide. Brill's Religion Past and Present (RPP) presents the peerless Religion in Geschichte und Gegenwart (RGG) in a complete, updated English translation of the 4th German edition. Taking the latest research developments into account, Religion Past and Present encompasses a vast range of religion-connected subjects. Now at last available in English, this great resource, carrying on the tradition of depth and authority relied upon by generations of scholars in religious, theological, and biblical studies, is indisputably among the small class of essential reference works.
