While some textbooks include glossaries to aid the introductory student, many educators assign classroom texts that assume students' prior knowledge of key terms. Having ready access to a wide variety of definitions in a single, compact volume is especially important in our multicultural and religiously plural world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpanning the gamut from \"Aaron\" to \"Zwingli,\" this dictionary includes nearly 3,000 entries written by about sixty authors, all of whom are specialists in their various theological and religious disciplines. The editors have designed the dictionary especially to aid the introductory-level student with instant access to definitions of terms likely to be encountered in--but not to substitute for--classroom presentations or reading assignments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a supplement for student coursework, \u003ci\u003eAn Introductory Dictionary of Theology and Religious Studies\u003c\/i\u003e is also a useful resource for catechesis or religious education, for those pursuing interfaith or interreligious dialogue, and for those whose duties require communication with persons from diverse religious traditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e2008 Catholic Press Association Award Winner \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Orlando O.
