New Catholic Encyclopedia
Edition 2
Published in 2002
Published by Gale
Since
1967, the New Catholic Encyclopedia, cited by Library Journal as one of
the top 50 reference sources of the millennium, has been a standard in public,
academic and high school libraries worldwide. Prized for its scholarly
presentation of persons and subjects related to Catholicism and the humanities,
the Encyclopedia is the first place you turn when your users have
questions on topics such as abortion, divorce, cloning and reproductive
technology. Gale, together with The Catholic University of America, is proud to
announce a new and updated edition of this multi-volume set -- the first new
edition in more than 30 years.
This revised edition features contributions from hundreds of
scholars from all over the world, under the guidance of Catholic University of
America's Reverend Berard Marthaler, O.F.M. and Gale. Incorporating content from
the five supplementary volumes to the first edition of the New Catholic
Encyclopedia, this new edition also features revised and new articles,
bringing the entire encyclopedia up to date. Among the 12,000 entries in the Encyclopedia
are articles on theology, philosophy, history, literary figures, saints,
musicians and much more.
What impact did Catholicism have on Shakespeare? What role
does music play in religious worship? Why is the fish a Christian symbol? What
did John Paul II have to do with the fall of Communism in Eastern Europe? What?s
the difference between the Catholic and Protestant bibles? The only
comprehensive source on Catholic teachings, the New Catholic Encyclopedia
is the source to consult for answers to questions like these, and hundreds of
others.
In addition to the hundreds of new signed articles on a wide
variety of topics, this new edition also features biographies of contemporary
religious figures; thousands of photographs, maps and illustrations; and
completely updated bibliographical citations. The 15th volume is a cumulative
index to the entire encyclopedia.

In a unique partnership, Gale and
The Catholic University of America are publishing a new edition of the New
Catholic Encyclopedia — the first in more than 30 years. For almost 90
years, this authoritative encyclopedia has been known for its scholarly
presentation of persons and subjects related to Catholicism and the humanities.
The standard of reference on Catholicism
Called “indispensable” by Catholic Library World and “a credit to American
Catholic scholarship” by Library Journal, the New Catholic Encyclopedia is
a standard in academic and public libraries of all types. It is equally popular
among religious organizations and institutions, including seminaries,
monasteries and U.S. Catholic parishes, especially those affiliated with
education programs.
Why the new edition?
The Catholic Church has gone through tremendous changes since the last edition
was published. It has become more open and flexible, while still maintaining its
traditional principles. The second edition reflects this new approach. Here’s
what you will find in the second edition: _
Articles updated to reflect the new code of Canon Law promulgated in 1983
_ Articles composed
and reviewed by experts in their respective subject disciplines _
Hundreds of new, signed articles on a wide variety of topics, including,
but not limited to: historical figures, musicians, philosophy, saints and
theology _ New
photos, maps and illustrations _
Numerous new biographies on religious figures _
Revised and updated information reflecting the most recent Catholic
scholarship _ Updating
of numerous bibliographical citations _
And much more
