Synopsis: Queen (ethics and servant leadership, Emory U.), Stephen Prothero (religion, Boston U.) and Gardiner Shattuck (history of Christianity, Andover Newton Theological School of Massachusetts) lead a team of scholars in updating the broad reference from its 1996 and 2001 editions. It has expanded to three volumes to encompass the growing importance of information about religion in US politics, society, and culture since earlier editions, and a short history of religion in America has been added. The articles range from short paragraphs to several pages in length, are signed, and provide mostly secondary bibliographies that include World Wide Web sites. The cross-referencing is extensive. Among the topics are African-American religion, William Jennings Bryan, John Paul II, primitivism, Tecumseh, and World's Parliament of Religion. The three volumes are paged and indexed together.
