商品簡介
Some 250 international academics, researchers, clerics, and independent scholars contribute 300-plus articles to the latest Supplement to the 2003 edition of the New Catholic Encyclopedia, this time focusing on the special relationship between the arts and Catholicism. The entries manifest a full range of creative forms--literature, music, painting, architecture, film, dance--from all the main historical periods, covering Catholic art in Europe, Africa, Asia, and Meso-America. Entries range from 400 to 8,000 words in length, each ending with a bibliography of print and online resources. The 2011 Supplement contains updated articles, including entries on the sex abuse crisis, Pope Benedict XVI, and recently deceased figures, as well as new entries on the newly beatified and canonized, including St. Mary Helen McKillop (1842-1907) and St. Andre Bessette, CSC (1845-1937). The publication is also available in eBook format. Annotation c2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
