Abstract

The intent of this project is to produce an encyclopedia of the symbols of the major religions of the world, providing information regarding their origin, as well as their use historically, and how that use has changed over time, including their adoption by other faiths. This will be the first time the symbols of all of the major world religions will be covered in a single publication, and will contain much more detail than many currently existing encyclopedias.
