Just thought I should remind everyone potentially interested that this 13 volume Encyclopedia is closing this Friday in Community Pricing and is currently listed as going for $30 USD (with an intended regular price of almost $350 USD. It will likely be available very quickly as it downloaded last Sunday to those who had purchased it as part of the Diamond or Portfolio Base Packages.
You may want to take a look to see if you might benefit from having this resource in your library, while it is still over 90% off. The original volumes were published between 1908 and 1926, corrections have been added to 1976 and this version is from the 1994 reprint by Scribner's/ T&T Clark.

Scope of the Encyclopædia
The words ‘Religion’ and ‘Ethics’ are both used in their most comprehensive meaning, as the contents of this work will show. The Encyclopædia contains articles on all the Religions of the world and on all the great systems of Ethics. It contains articles on every religious belief or custom, and on every ethical movement, every philosophical idea, every moral practice. Such persons and places as are famous in the history of religion and morals are included. The Encyclopædia thus embraces the whole range of Theology and Philosophy, together with the relevant portions of Anthropology, Mythology, Folklore, Biology, Psychology, Economics, and Sociology. It is a wide field, but its limits are clearly defined.
1. The articles are written by those who have made a special study of their subject, and are recognized as most competent to write upon it. Attention is given to grace of style, so that the articles may be read with pleasure as well as relied upon for accuracy and insight.
2. The articles are full enough to give the reader a good working acquaintance with their subject; and to each article is added a select bibliography for the use of those who wish to pursue the subject further.
3. The range of the Encyclopædia is well defined. Religion and Ethics can no longer be studied separately with any profit. They are accordingly dealt with together; but each topic, whether religious or ethical, or both, will be found under its own appropriate title. The Encyclopædia will contain an account of all beliefs and customs which belong to Religion or Ethics throughout the world. It will also contain articles on the religions themselves, or on the nations professing them. And when a belief or custom belongs to more religions than one, or is found in more than one place, it will often be described in a series of articles, each article being written by a scholar of the particular religion or country.
4. Much attention is given to social topics which have an ethical or religious aspect.
5. The Encyclopædia includes some account of such persons and places as are important in the history of Religion and Ethics.
