Reviews

Clearly written... Recommended for academic libraries, large public libraries, and seminary libraries. <br>- Booklist/RBB, February 2002 <br> Though the volume will most likely find its primary audience among students, general readers interested in the topic may find themselves browsing the wealth of material gathered here. <br>- School Library Journal, February 2002 <br> The volume is well structured, with numerous cross-references in both the text and index. Highly recommended for undergraduate collections and seminaries. <br>- Choice, March 2002 <br> As part of the growing Routledge Encyclopedias of Religion and Societies series, the Encyclopedia of Fundamentalism maintains the quality evidenced in the other books in the series. This is one of those reference books that deals with a topic that has such broad appeal, it is of equal value to public and academic libraries. In short, a number of libraries will welcome it on their reference shelves. <br>- Against the Grain, December 2001-January 2002 <br>... outstanding quality... Whether your readers need a means of rapid entree into research on fundamentalism or simply a general reference, this beautifully laid-out work is the one to have. Strongly recommended for all libraries. <br>- Library Journal (starred review), January 2002 <br>
