Title: Dictionary of Christian biography
Description: "This book is a reference to those men and women of all denominations who have, over the last two millenia, contributed to the life, history and study of Christianity in all its facets, or in whose lives Christianity has been a significant factor. Entries are concise and accessible, although for key figures longer essays have been written.

Its coverage ranges from major figures of the immediate post-New Testament era to those recently deceased, and has a global perspective, offering in-depth coverage of Africa, India, and China as well as Orthodoxy - Greek and Russian." "This reference work will prove essential in many contexts: for general readers interested in Church history and the study of the Christian faith, in libraries, and as a study aid for students, researchers and scholars."--BOOK JACKET.
