The Mennonite Encyclopedia

Book Summary

This volume updates some of the materials in the first four volumes of The Mennonite Encyclopedia. It also adds almost 1000 new articles on many topics. Some of these topics grow out of continuing research in Anabaptism. Some are the result of new interpretations arrived at since the publication of the first four volumes. And some report on new developments within the global Mennonite and Brethren-in-Christ family. Thus this volume continues and builds upon the work of the earlier set. Covers the 435-year history of the faith, life, and culture of Anabaptists in Europe and Mennonites throughout the world. Presented are people, movements, and places in their relation to Mennonites. This Encyclopedia was jointly edited by historians and scholars of the Mennonite Church, the General Conference of Mennonites, and the Mennonite Brethren Church. More than 2,700 writers contributed articles. Volume V includes updates on materials in the first four volumes plus nearly 1,000 new articles edited by Cornelius J. Dyck and Dennis D. Martin.
