"The NDOT combines a breadth of interest with careful scholarship and readable style, making it a most valuable resource. . . . I commend it enthusiastically."

"The contributors should be applauded loudly. They have condensed often arcane and bewildering terminology into easily understandable terms . . . [with] sound, no-nonsense scholarship and laudatory lack of trendism."

"Recommended for students, teachers and ministers. . . . A worthy addition to any library."

"This is the best one-volume dictionary of Christian theology I have read. The student wishing to possess a comprehensive and authoritative reference work on the broad themes of Christian thought, both past and present, could do no better than to add this work to his or her shelves."

"The values of this work are many. The philosophical articles are most helpful, as are the ones on different heresies which have plagued the Church for the past two thousand years. The text is readable, and even a casual perusal of this work will enrich the reader's understanding of his/her heritage."

"The editors have assembled some of the best minds in world evangelicalism to interpret key terms, figures and movements in historic Christianity and 20th-century theological debate. . . A valuable resource for an . . . ecumenical readership."

"It is gratifying to observe that important issues of the Third World . . . are sympathetically handled. The NDOT is a mine of information."
