The content of Abridged Edition 15 has been derived from the underlying Edition 23 database applying a set of rules to build the edition with minimal intellectual intervention. 200 Religion Class is also scheduled to be published in early 2012. The publication will feature additional updates to Islam and other parts of religion, plus a new optional Chronological/regional arrangement of the Bible and specific religions.
