Religion Past and Present, a new and significant scholarly reference work from Brill, is being added to the Cudahy Library Reference Collection. Volumes I through VI are in the collection now; another four will be added as they become available. This is the first ever translation of Religion in Geschichte und Gegenwart, now in its fourth edition and considered essential since it appeared in 1908. (To see the entry on Ash Wednesday, see Volume 1 page 442.)
