"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Unlike so many dictionaries that offer only short definitions of narrow terms, entries here are each a minilesson on the subject, starting with a clear definition, followed by historical development and ramifications and, sometimes, even posing questions for readers to ponder. Contributors' enthusiasm for their subjects is apparent. As further enlightenment to readers, certain longer articles on basic topics are identified and suggested as introductory reading. Many entries are subdivided for clarity of development. One definition of feminist theology is "thinking about God that considers female human experience as significant a source for systematic reflection as male human experience." Entries here are as varied as Bat Mitzvah, Biblical Studies, Goddess, Holy Spirit, Inclusive Language, Islam, Justice and Social Change, Liturgy, Ministry, Motherhood, and Sacraments. There are no entries on persons. The editors are a professor of theology at Yale Divinity School (Russell) and an assistant professor of education (Clarkson).
This is a unique book that will serve users well in theological, academic, and public libraries. Highly recommended.
