Schaff-Herzog Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Schaff-Herzog Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge is a 1914 religious encyclopedia, published in thirteen volumes. It focuses on Christianity from a primarily Protestant point of view.

Edited by the Reverend Philip Schaff (1819-1893) in its English language version, it was based on the third edition of the Realencyklopädie für protestantische Theologie und Kirche founded by Johann Jakob Herzog (1805-1882), and edited by Albert Hauck.

As of 2004, it is in the public domain (and thus can be incorporated into any other work). The Christian Classics Ethereal Library has digitised the work, and is now available to be read online.
