Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge.

Forward. This old volume, written in 1838, we believe to be one of the earliest of it's kind. Selections are posted in alphabetical order and are chosen according to the interests of the transcribers. However, it is our intention to eventually transcribe our edition in it's entirety. As selections of the alphabet are completed, index pages will be designated for each letter. All selections transcribed and posted here are in the public domain. Terms are also listed in the form of a question in order to draw greater traffic to selections posted below.
