Biography

Manfred Lurker

`This Dictionary contains around 1800 entries which include all of the more important supernatural beings who have acquired a kind of "personality". These include the pantheons of classical cultures and the world religions of today. Also included are the religious systems of the so-called "primitive" races. - Theology Digest

`By gathering together in one volume material from many different sources, and by bringing to light so many interconnections between religions, the author has provided a highly useful tool'. - Your Future, March 1988
