Readers are provided with over 6,000 authoritative cross-referenced A to Z entries covering all aspects of the subject. Many new entries have been added-including articles on Liberation Theology, the ordination of women, Christianity in Vietnam, The Quest of the Historical Jesus, and the ethics of contraception and abortion-and the extensive bibliographies have been brought up to date. There is increased coverage of the Eastern Churches, issues in moral theology, and developments stemming from the Second Vatican Council. Extensively revised and updated, it reflects important changes in academic opinion and Church organization. This new third edition, the first in over twenty years, builds on the unrivaled reputation of the previous editions.
The Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church, since its first publication in 1957, has become the indispensable one-volume reference work on all aspects of the Christian Church.
