The book surveys the diversity of religion, mostly of historical and contemporary Christian sects and movements but with significant inclusions of Jewish, Muslim, and \"heathen\" religious groups. Adams's particular contribution was the self-conscious effort to treat all religious groups on the same level and to avoid explicit or implicit\n\u003cbr\u003ejudgments. She preferred to use self-descriptions where she had them.  It is this non-normative approach that gives the book its historical value. Thomas Tweed's introduction discusses Adams's life and sets her\n\u003cbr\u003eand her book usefully in their context. He includes a helpful guide to the key entries.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44084340818158,"sku":"9781555407285","price":117.82,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/dictionary-of-all-religions-and-religious-denominations-a","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
