Bullard Edits Book
By Marty Williams
Dr. Roger Bullard of AC's Re
ligion department recently com
pleted work on a reference
volume to The Living Religions
of the W’orld. The book, entitled
"The Abingdon Dictionary of
Living Religions,” took four
years to fmish. Bullard worked
as an associate editor with Keith
Grim and Larry Shinn as general
editors.
Each of the three editors took
a different aspect of the book to
work on. Bullard handled the
articles dealing with Christian
ity, Judaism and Islam. After
making a list of the subjects for
the book, the editors invited
scholars interested in the sub
ject to write one long article and
several related shorter ones.
The writers are from various
backgrounds and many are
world famous. A few under -
graduate students also contri
buted their works. Bullard wrote
approximately a dozen of the
articles himself.
The book is unique in that it is
a single volume rather than a
collection of volumes, and it is a
reference work to all the major
living religions of the world. It
also contains articles and essays
by approximately 150 scholars
along with pictures, illustra
tions. creeds and maps. The
book also contains extensive
cross references and a bibliogra
phy so that the interested reader
can find further information on a
particular subject. Bullard said
that the job of editing was
further complicated by the fact
that the book was limited to 800
pages, and many of the articles
exceeded the length reserved
for them in the book.
The book has sold 10,500
copies during its first month on
the market, and early reviews
have been favorable. ‘‘I learned
a lot about world religions and
editing papers," Bullard said.
‘‘1 also learned that the work of
accomplished scholars can be
graded with the same red pencil
as freshman English papers."
