thiselton, A Highly Regarded Teacher, Theologian, Researcher, And Anglican Canon, Has Written Several Theological Books And Contributed To The Cambridge Companion To Biblical Interpretation. Previously Published Under The Same Title By Oxford In 2002, This One-volume A-to-z Is Made Up Of 300-plus Entries That Define And Describe Diverse Terms, People, And Subjects Related To World Religions, Placing Special Emphasis On Their Philosophical Aspects. Articles Run The Gamut From A Priori, Karl Theodor Jaspers, And Existentialism To Theodicy, Freud, Zen Philosophy, And Zoroastrianism And Range In Length From A Couple Of Paragraphs (counterfactual) To Several Pages (teleological Argument For The Existence Of God). While The Scope Is International, There Are More Entries Relevant To Western Thought Than To Eastern Traditions. An Index, Cross References, And A Chronology Are Included. Bottom Line Despite Its Western Perspective, This Book Is Well Worth The Modest Cost For Most Libraries, Especially Since The Oxford Version Is Now Out Of Print. There Are A Few Other Single-volume Resources Covering Similar Ground, Including Geddes Macgregor's Dictionary Of Religion And Philosophy And Macmillan's World Religions. Still, This Is A Timely, Thrifty, And Useful Compendium That Libraries Not Owning The Oxford Edition Should Purchase; Those That Own The Previous Edition Can Pass As The Two Seem Indistinguishable.-denise Johnson, Bradley Univ.
