"These volumes signal the completion of a massive thirtysix volume theological encyclopedia, thirty years in the making. They are comprehensive indexes of one of the most significant reference works of the last century. Four separate indexes comprise the two volumes: place references, subjects, biblical texts (including apocryphal and deuteroncanonical literature), and personal names. The amount of material contained in each index is staggering, giving readers an indication of the encyclopedia s depth and breadth. Perusal of the volumes reveals a European orientation, both in names and places, although the subjects also include plentiful references to the global South. This compact study edition is essential for optimum use of the encyclopedia itself. Every theological library should have a copy." (David H. Jensen in Religious Studies Review 3/2010)
"Merci à celles et ceux qui ont jeté les bases de cette vaste entreprise voilà plus de trente ans ; merci à celles et ceux qui ont pris leur relève et l'ont menée à chef." (Bernard Reymaond in: Etudes Theologiques et Religieuses 4/2008)

"Das opus magnum ist perfekt, allen Rat und Information Suchenden wendet sich die enorme Wissenssammlung freundlich und einladend zu. Der Weg ist gemacht. Allen Benützern wünscht der Rezensent die Erfahrung, die ihm das Lexikon beschert hat: dass der Buchstabe nicht töten muss. Er verhilft auch zum aufrechten Gang."
