Encyclopedia of Religion and War
Encyclopedia of Religious Rituals
Berkshire Publishing Group is seeking authors for articles for the upcoming volumes of the award-winning Religion and Society series. The Encyclopedia of Religion and War and the Encyclopedia of Religious Rituals will be the fifth and sixth volumes in the Berkshire/Routledge series.
The three previous volumes, the Encyclopedia of Millennialism and Millennial Movements, the Encyclopedia of African and African-American Religions, and the Encyclopedia of Fundamentalism have been well received for their outstanding quality and clear, readable explanations. The Fundamentalism volume was just selected by Choice as an outstanding academic book of the year.
All articles are referred and contributors receive an honorarium in addition to receiving a volume (estimated retail value: $125).
Please send a message telling us what articles you would like to write along with your areas of research and interest, and your position and publications (we do not need a CV at this stage), to our project coordinator, Elizabeth Eno, via the email listed.
