Dictionaries and Encyclopedias - General
The encyclopedias listed below are tradition specific and in many instances, denomination specific. They will provide some coverage of topics and persons of interest to the study of spirituality and may be profitably searched. However, their approach is definitely "wide angle:" broad, limited coverage of prominant figures and topics. For more focused coverage of topics relating to spirituality, see the "Dictionaries and Encyclopedias: Spirituality" page below.
