Praise 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)
