In this single volume you will find nearly three-and-a-half thousand terms and names from the history, teachings, and liturgy of the church.

  • Terms and names that are difficult to find in standard dictionaries (including the one on Reformed Dutch American missionary Guido Verbeck, who laid the foundation of the Japanese Imperial University in Tokyo in the late 1800s, and on Ferdinand Verbiest, the Flemish-born Jesuit priest, who became the director of Imperial Board of Astronomy in Beijing in the 1660s.).
  • Brief definitions and descriptions for quick reference
  • Names and terms from the history of the church in its various expressions
  • Concepts and terms related to the teachings of the church
  • Terms connected with the Protestant, Roman Catholic, and Orthodox liturgies

This indispensable reference work is for anyone who wants quick access to information that is sometimes difficult to find, even in a well-stocked library. The perfect single-volume reference for the layperson, students, pastors, and teachers.
