A Dictionary of Religious Denominations, Sects, Parties, and Associations

In Hitchcock’s New and Complete Analysis of the Holy Bible, Roswell D. Hitchcock provides “A Dictionary of Religious Denominations, Sects, Parties, and Associations.” From the Abyssinian Church to the Zealots, Hitchcock briefly describes all of the known denominations of his time, providing an overview of beliefs and historical facts for each entry—as well as other pertinent information, such as geographic distribution, when available. He prefaces with an overview of the population of the globe and list of religious groups with the highest numbers of people.
