"A major resource and a creative one at that which should find a
place in any theological library."--Myk Habets, Pacific Journal of
Baptist Research, October 2009
"A unique and fresh contribution to the field of Christian studies.
. . Provides a breadth of coverage not found elsewhere."--John
Jaeger, Journal of Religious and Theological Information, November
2010
"A welcome first step in recognizing and engaging with these
important non-Western perspectives. Recommended."--A. Limpitlaw,
Choice, June 2009
"Accessible and well-organised reference work will be a welcome
addition to anyone's library. Significantly, entries by the editors
William Dyrness and Veli-Matti Karkkainen are especially judicious,
and it is their voice that sets the overall tone. This is a model
dictionary in terms of cross-referencing, indexing and the
provision of generally blanaced bibliographies."--Dr. Saxbee,
Bishop of Lincoln, Church Times, February 27, 2009
"It is a book that will serve well in research libraries,
seminaries, and the libraries of ministers who find themselves
traveling much. It will also be useful to the one who desires to
learn of the past and present differences in
Christendom."--Pastoral Musings (pastoralmusings.wordpress.com),
December 15, 2008
"The impressibe book is a testimony to the vitality of evangelical
theology and its claim for leadership within the ecumenical
spectrum of theology."--International Review of Biblical Studies,
2008-2009
"This dictionary highlights the ways in which religion and theology
are matters of international dialogue, how 'Christianity is going
south, ' how the traditional Western perspective restricts our view
and knowledge of things, and how new challenges and perspectives
arise in the world today. The dictionary does not merely claim to
be global - it proves that it really is."--Stuart Hannabuss,
Reference Reviews, 2009
"This work brings theology into the twenty-first century,
challenging and complementing afresh, while also affirming the
historic beliefs of the Christian church. . . invaluable for those
seeking to be informed as they enter distant cultures to teach,
preach, and learn from fellow believers. Among the theological
dictionaries this writer has reviewed, several claiming to be
international, this is superior to all."--J. Scott Horrell,
Bibliotheca Sacra, October-December 2010
