The written word is one of the defining elements of Christian experience. As vigorous in the 1st century as it is in the 21st, Christian literature has had a significant function in history, and teachers and students need to be reminded of this powerful literary legacy. Covering 2,000 years, The Encyclopedia of Christian Literature is the first encyclopedia devoted to Christian writers and books. In addition to an overview of the Christian literature, this two-volume set also includes 40 essays on the principal genres of Christian literature and more than 400 bio-bibliographical essays describing the principal writers and their works. These essays examine the evolution of Christian thought as reflected in the literature of every age. The companion volume also features bibliographies, an index, a timeline of Christian Literature, and a list of the greatest Christian authors. The encyclopedia will appeal not only to scholars and Christian evangelicals, but students and teachers in seminaries and theological schools, as well as to the growing body of Christian readers and bibliophiles.

Excerpt from The Magazine of Christian Literature, Vol. 4: April, 1891, to September, 1891 The question I have written at the head of this paper may be supposed to be one of those which are often said to answer them selves that is to say, they suggest alterna tive answers which are either too obviously true or too obviously absurd to need stating. Thus: Is it worth while to go on preach ing? Might elicit the retort, When the Christian religion, both doctrinal and prae tical, is acknowledged to be an obsolete de lusion 1 Or again, When our preachers are so stupid and incompetent that they neither know what to say nor how to say it! Or again, When faith cometh by hearing, ' and without faith men must per ish everlastingly 1 Or the question might be simply set aside as having no longer any serious practical interest. Rightly or wrong ly, it may be said even Christian people are tired of sermons; they no longer care for theology it is enough for them if they can achieve religion. Anyhow, a subtle and complex science is best taught, if at all, by books. Business men want Sunday for rest. They can manage to keep awake during an abridged service, the parts of which are judi ciously distributed between the solos and choruses and orchestral overtures or marches of a sacred concert, but they are in no mood for being preached to. In fact, so en tirely has the music of these services of song superseded the rational worship, the reasonable service on certain occasions, of our fashionable, well to do congregations, that it seems of no importance that the words sung are in flat contradiction to the doctrinal standards of the people of whose worship they form a part. I have before me, for instance, a printed programme, Of which the following is the title age Church Choral Society, New York. Hird season. Eighteen hundred and ninety-one. Second service, St. George's Church, Stuyve sant Square, Rev. Wm. S. Rainsford, D.D. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
