Intro

They just don’t make encyclopedias like they used to.  The large and multi-volume dictionaries and encyclopedias at the end of the 1800’s and early-1900’s are some of the most scholarly and in-depth that have ever been printed, especially in the field of history, and cover topics too specific, detailed and lengthy for modern abridgments.  Richard A. Muller has said (Church History, 2016, p. 17):

“…historical scholarship reached a level of maturity by the mid-nineteenth century that, in many respects, has not been surpassed to this day.”

More and more contemporary works of scholarship are also becoming available on the internet through online loan.
