The New Catholic Encyclopedia

Since 1967, the New Catholic Encyclopedia, named one of the top 50 reference sources of the millennium by the Library Journal, has been an indispensable tool found in public, academic and high school libraries across the globe. Prized for its scholarly presentation of persons and subjects related to Catholicism and the humanities, the Encyclopedia is an invaluable resource for questions related to the world religion. Gale, together with The Catholic University of America, is proud to announce a new, revised version of this multi-volume set -- the first updated edition in over 30 years.

The new edition includes contributions from hundreds of world-renowned academics, under the guidance of Catholic University of America's Reverend Berard Marthaler, O.F.M.Conv. and Gale. Along with articles from the five supplementary volumes to the first edition of the New Catholic Encyclopedia, this version also incorporates new and updated articles, bringing the entire encyclopedia up to date. Among the 12,000 articles in the Encyclopedia are entries on Catholic theology, philosophy, history, literary figures, saints, musicians and much more.
