Fourth volume of Brethren Encyclopedia is available from Brethren Press.

The fourth volume of the "Brethren Encyclopedia," published by Brethren Encyclopedia Inc., is available from Brethren Press for $80 plus shipping and handling.

The long-awaited volume has been in the works since at least 2001. Carl Bowman, professor of sociology at Bridgewater (Va.) College, and the late Brethren historian Donald Durnbaugh, served as co-editors (Durnbaugh served as editor of the first three volumes, published in 1983-84). The Brethren Encyclopedia board of directors conducted a financial campaign to support the publishing project. The 816-page book contains an extensive index for all four volumes of the encyclopedia, new articles, additions and corrections, an updated bibliography, photos, and more.

To place an order call 800-441-3712 or go to www.brethrenpress.com (for "The Brethren Encyclopedia, Vol. 4," go to www.brethrenpress.com/store/bpress/0669.html).
