Table of Contents Acknowledgements; Preface; Entries; Sources cited; List of contributors. Review This is an indispensable, immensely rich, genuinely theological reference work. Its entries offer specifically theological examination of a comprehensive array of theological topics and biographies by an inclusive range of theological voices. And it integrates those entries in an ingenious way. The inter-connections among the multiple conceptual perspectives of its entries on core theological topics amount to a map of systematic theology. David Kelsey, Yale UniversityWhat sets the The Cambridge Dictionary apart is its format … fills a troublesome void in theological reference texts. Kent Eliers, Theology ForumThe volume is ecumenical and includes a wide range of perspectives from a wealth of contributors.

Fout, Anglican Theological ReviewThis one-volume work is intended to be coherent and capacious, but neither partisan nor blinkered.

Long Description Curricular peer mentoring is a programmatic approach to enrich student learning and engagement in postsecondary courses in which instructors welcome a more experienced undergraduate student into a credit course they are teaching. The student then serves as peer mentor to the students enrolled. Peer mentors can provide a variety of peer-appropriate, course-specific mentoring, tutoring, facilitation and leadership roles and activities that complement the roles of the courses instructor and teaching assistants both in classroom settings and beyond. A program provides training and ongoing support for a larger number of peer mentors and instructional teams and manages recruitment and program research and quality. This volume provides research findings, definitions, theories, and practical program descriptions as a foundation for program development and research of undergraduate curricular peer mentoring programs in higher education. This work builds on a long history of higher education program development and collects a significant amount of literature that has previously been scattered.
