Volume 4 of the EC (Retail: $109.99)

contains 299 articles constituting the alphabetical entries PûSh — articles on significant topics ranging from Paul, process theology, and the Qur’an to religious liberty, salvation history, and Scholasticism.

Among the features of this English work are the following:

• articles on all but the smallest countries of the world, including former communist states that have gained their independence since 1989;
• the latest, best statistical information, compiled by David B. Barrett, on the religious affiliation and ecclesiastical breakdown of each country and continent;
• the addition of over seventy biographical articles on prominent figures throughout church history;
• many expanded or entirely new articles that address topics of particular interest to English-speaking readers.
