Author: Dr Wade Clark Roof | Publisher: Macmillan Reference USA | Category: Religion Other | Language: English | Page: 2 | ISBN: 0028649281 | ISBN13: 9780028649283 |

Description: In the preface, Roof characterizes this two-volume work as "a lexicon of popular religious culture" in contemporary America that pays less attention to "official teachings and practices" than to how these beliefs are "popularly understood." More than 250 contributors offer 500 articles on diverse religious movements, beliefs, and practices in the United States. Roof (religious studies, Univ. of California, Santa Barbara) assembles enlightening, entertaining entries for the browsing reader. For those seeking interfaith comparisons, however, the work has some drawbacks. Many articles focus almost exclusively on the Christian understanding of terms. For instance, the entry on "millennialism" deals only with its Christian context, largely ignoring its modern sociological use to describe any movement that expects the replacement of the current world system with a divine one. Given that the work aims to document popular understanding and that most Americans are still most familiar with Christian approaches, this may be a minor flaw.
