Dictionary of Christian Biography

This book is unique in English as a rapid reference to those men and women who have, over the last two millenia contributed to the life, history and study of Christianity in all its facets, regardless of denomination. Entries are concise and accessible but for key influential figures, longer essays have been written. They range from major biblical figures to those still living. Care has been taken to avoid a too-Western orientation in the choice of those included with in-depth coverage of Africa, India and China as well as Orthodoxy, both Greek and Russian.

This dictionary will be useful in many different contexts - as a home reference for general readers interested in church history and the study of the Christian faith and in libraries and studies for students, researchers and scholars. The "Dictionary of Christian Biography" is truly comprehensive, including the latest developments in Christian churches all over the world.

It is the indispensable one-volume reference work for everyone.

From the age of fourteen until his death at the age of eighty-two, Pope John XXIII kept what he called his 'Journal of a Soul'- the record of his growth in holiness.

This book covers the full span of his long career from the seminary in Bergamo to his brief but transformative papacy. His journal is a rare and intimate record of the spiritual life of a much-loved figure. As he wrote, 'my soul is in these pages.'

No esoteric reasoning, no bombast, no pious piffle, no unintelligible theological jargon, Catholicism deals with the deepest Christian mysteries in simple, lucid, and understandable English prose. But even more, in reading Catholicism, we see clearly and understand in depth the theological transformations that took place in Vatican II, and subsequently.
