Listed below are some of the major encyclopedias on the Christian traditions, along with some of the appropriate entries in them, listed by denominational tradition. But on each of these traditions there will be also, of course, books and essay-collections in the book catalog and essays and articles in the databases. If you would like to go further and identify and procure also books, essays, and/or articles, feel free to contact me (Steve Perisho, at bottom left) for help.

Progressivism in the sense used here, by contrast, will be harder to find in the mere encyclopedias. The entry on "Progressivism" in the 2nd ed. of the four-volume Encyclopedia of religion in America, for example, although not wholly unrelated ("The term 'progressivism . . . nearly always refer[s] to reform, change, innovation, or radicalism"), covers really only "the Progressive Era" of the late 19th and the early 20th centuries, not the progressivism of Quest Church in 2020s Seattle. So for more help with this assignment, see me (Steve Perisho).
