"The Encyclopedia of Christianity" Vol. 3 was nominated as the Book of the Month. Rudolph W. Heinze states that "meticulous cross-referencing and up-to-date bibliographies are another positive feature of an encyclopedia which should become a standard reference work replacing classic works such as the "New Shaff Herzog encyclopedia" and its 1955 extension, the "Twentieth-century encyclopedia of religious knowledge".
