Trade ReviewPraise for The Encyclopedia of Eastern Orthodox Christianity
"The encyclopedia as a whole is a remarkable achievement ... the preface by the editor is a masterpiece."
—Theology
"An authoritative, scholarly reference work ... that will have the greatest utility for researchers at every level. In 30 years of studying Orthodox Christianity, this reviewer has been no comparable work ... essential."
—Choice
"This monumental work ... provides a wealth of knowledge about global Orthodoxy during historical cycles of growth, repression and renewal."
—European History Quarterly
"Still, the encyclopedia fills an important gap in the reference literature of the Orthodox Church. The features of the work enhance the content with beautiful illustrations, maps, a useful index, and list of entries. Finally, articles cross reference and also provide short bibliographies for further reading." (American Reference Books Annual, 1 November 2015)
"... the volume is to be recommended for the high quality of the scholarship throughout. It is a useful volume for lower-level undergraduates and even advanced secondary students." (Theological Book Review, 2016)
