Reviews:

The latest in Greenwood's `Historical Guides to the World's Periodicals and Newspapers,' this work is a pleasure to read, especially for those interested in American religions or periodicals. In profiles of 1,000 to 2,000 words, it describes the histories and points of view for more than 100 American religious periodicals, mostly current; then, for each it lists indexing sources, reprints available, major locations, and a detailed publication history. The profiles were written by about 50 contributors, including some outstanding scholars of American religions. Two appendixes list the periodials' founding dates, with a parallel column noting selected events in American religious history, and the titles profiled by sponsor or religious orientation.... One might quibble with details ... but that would be ungrateful when the content is so authoritative and so readable, and the bibliographical apparatus so abundant. Recommended for any library supporting work in American religious history or the history of periodicals.

Since there was more than 2500 religious publications in print in the U.S. as of 1985, profiling all of them would be a very difficult if not impossible task. Hence, editor Lippy has chosen to profile over 100 academic and scholarly journals and periodicals according to specific criteria. . . it definitely has a place in the reference sections of college and univeristy libarries as well as in larger community libraries. Those with general as well as professional interests will find valuable information in these pages. This reviewer finds the information sources and publication history given at the end of each profile to be quite helpful for general and scholarly work in American religious history.
