Encyclopedia's editor James Hastings was assisted in this monumental undertaking by John A. Selbie and hundreds of other eminent scholars. " ...grand in vision and impressive in accomplishment, (it) represents a scholarly achievement of the first importance. Intended to provide an account of the various aspects of religion (beliefs, rituals, philosophies, theologies, ethics) among peoples the world over and in all ages, the encyclopedia became a reference work with no compeer for more than half a century. Exemplary of the late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century interest in producing encyclopedic collections of knowledge in various fields, the encyclopedia became both a resource for reviewing the results of scholarship concerning the study of religion and an impetus for the extension of knowledge of peoples and cultures the world over, thus transcending the prior provincialism of much of Western scholarship, " wrote F. Stanley Lusby in 1986 16-volume Encyclopedia of Religion, the editors of which led by Mircea Eliade viewed themselves as the authors of the work aiming to supersede Hastings's Encyclopedia. While Eliade's Encyclopedia of Religion was also a grand undertaking, in the opinion of many, it by no means can be considered a replacement of Hasting's Encyclopedia; at best it is a supplement and update to it. Available in almost every library, Encyclopedia is a recommended and much in use standard reference title in the field of religion. Re-created from scratch in Scholar PDF format, electronic edition of Encyclopedia is designed to improve library services while preserving valuable paper copy, reprints of which now cost more than $2000.
