Synopsis
A reference to the men and women who have, over the last two millennia, contributed to the life, history and study of Christianity in all its facets, regardless of denomination. Entries are concise but for the key influencial figures longer essays have been written. Entries range from major Biblical figures to figures of the modern era. Choice is not limited to the Western world, but includes entries from Africa, India and China as well as from Orthodoxy, Greek and Russian. The dictionary should be useful as a reference for the reader interested in church history and the study of Christian faith.

Review
"Besides the obvious saints, popes, bishops, and theologians, they include many 'professional Christians, ' including politicians, lawyers, architects, educators, and artists whose lives were fundamentally affected by their Christian life." "This book reminds us of the wonderful legacy handed down to us by previous generations, and it helps us to know some of these people a little better. Recommended." "This is the first one-volume biographical reference for those seeking information about the lives of the world's Church leaders--irrespective of denomination." "Walsh's work is impressive because of both the quality of its entries (6,500) and its ecumenical and historical range (nearly 50 contributors)...."
