In Volume One and Eight we have gathered information that is essential for an understanding of the 18th-century world. In the introductory volume leading writers in various subject fields have produced independent chapters that collectively introduce the reader under three topical headings - THE 18TH CENTURY, SEEKERS of TRUTH AND THE PRACTICAL ASPECTS - to the actual world in which the apostles lived or that they confronted during their journeys. Each chapter is self-contained and the information presented in it may in some cases be perceived as contradictory, but that is a decision taken by the editors in order to make things clear but also as a reminder that knowledge is and remains subject to change and may be interpreted over time in different ways. The concluding volume entitled ENCYCLOPÆDIA contains factual information presented in reference form under the following three headings: BIOGRAPHIES, BIBLIOGRAPHY and INDEX: Volumes One to Eight. It is in these two volumes that general facts and search facilities relating to all the volumes are to be found.
