Arranged broadly by century, each author entry--with vital date(s) and a brief description--has a number composed of the two digits of the century and a second number for the order within the century. Each quotation of an author is then numbered. Many authors have only one entry, but many others have a considerable number; a few, such as John Donne and Dietrich Bonhoeffer, have 20 or more. Though one needs to know the century of prominence for direct access, the 150 pages of indexes provide additional help for using the work. There is an index of sources for personal entries, an index of themes for subject approach, and an extensive keyword index. Finally, an Acknowledgments section includes nearly 200 sources from which the quotations were drawn.
Because of the somewhat random selection and the existence of other places to find such information, some will question the inclusion of poetic verses and the many first verses of hymns, frequently the only saying attributed to an author. However, this thoughtfully produced work, suitable for browsing, will be useful in some medium-to-large academic and public libraries, as well as theological and church libraries.
