Excellent cross references, historic and contemporary statistical appendixes, and an analytical index make this an efficient reference tool... An excellent resource to engage in exploration of humanities policy issues, and concerns beyond the specifically religious while also providing deep analyses of theological matters." -- Library Journal (starred review)"A comprehensive four-volume reference set... Its coverage is rich and complex... The Encyclopedia of Protestantism has all the features that you would expect from a set of this caliber: useful bibliographies, a thematic index of related articles, a list of contributors and a good general index... With the Encyclopedia of Protestantism, Mr. Hillerbrand and his contributors have created an impressive work of distinct quality... Reference librarians in both academic and larger public libraries will see it as a requisite part of a serious religious collection." -- Against the Grain"A very handsome set, well-conceived and substantial looking...

This set belongs in most college and university libraries, many larger public libraries, and all seminary and other substantial theological libraries." -- American Reference BooksAnnual"Hans Hillerbrand... has rendered another signal service to the theological community, for in these four volumes lies a vast amount of material not readily available elsewhere... The articles are uniformly excellent... Every theological library should own this Encyclopedia, and everyone interested in Protestant theology should consult it... The work is appropriate for students and scholars alike." -- Theological Studies"Routledge has provided a great service to students and scholars in publishing a variety of encyclopedias of this sort...
