Please add this encyclopedia for Eastern Orthodox Christianity so we have a basic resource for terms, people, works, etc. of the Greek-Slavic tradition i.e. the second major thread of the 3 threads of the early church.

Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    i593 pages?!  Probably It might be very shallow.

    I think you mean 872 pages. but of course it is shallow - it is a basic encyclopedia but the articles are by respected scholars for the most part and have a 4-5 book reading list for those that wish to go further. If you know of a better English resource, I'd love to check it out. You can read some of the articles from this on Amazon.

    Orthodox Church has very rich ancient history and Theology. Anencyclopedia having less than 872 pages seems to me very little. Especially this Church, which has a great & rich treasure. If this is the best there is out there, I’m for it. I don’t know any other better, but Catholic Church has.

    [quote]"This is a monumental Encyclopedia, in both breadth and depth. It is sure to become a standard reference work for generations to come."
    ―V. Rev. Dr. John Behr, Saint Vladimir’s Orthodox Theological Seminary

    Seems worth a look.
