Textbook and Materials

One textbook is required for this course.

The second textbook is strongly recommended and can be used to help you choose a specific denomination for the annotated bibliography assignment.

  • Handbook of Denominations in the United States, 14th ed., by Roger E. Olson (Author), Frank S. Mead (Author), Samuel S. Hill (Author), Craig D. Atwood (Author) ISBN-13: 978-1501822513
  • You may need to purchase or borrow an additional book in order to complete the critical annotated bibliography assignment. The assignment requires you to read at least one book-length treatise on the denomination you are researching (other resources are also required). The assignment is due in Module 12 of the course: you will be identifying, reading, and analyzing your resources over multiple weeks. If NOVA libraries don’t have access to a book that meets that requirement, plan on obtaining a personal copy.
