What is The Gale Encyclopedia of religion. vol. 01 (AARON - ATTENTION) about?

"The Encyclopedia of Religion, first published in 1987, sought 'to introduce educated, nonspecialist readers to important ideas, practices, and persons in the religious experience of humankind from the Paleolithic past to our day.' It had been some 65 years since the last volume of a similar effort, the Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics (New York: Scribner, 1911-22), was published, prompting two reviewers to prophesy that it was 'extremely unlikely another encyclopedia of religion on this scale [would] appear in English for at least another generation.' Just about a generation has passed, and the second edition of the Encyclopedia of Religion has appeared, right on schedule. The second edition contains 'well over five hundred new topics, nearly one thousand completely new articles, and 1.5 million more words than the original.' In his preface, the editor provides an excellent service to readers by clearly distinguishing the differences in content between the two editions. All 2,750 entries from the first edition were examined for revision, 1,800 of them remaining essentially unchanged. While entries in both editions are signed, the name of the scholar is followed by the date 1987
