I'm an author for the first time (non-fiction, semi-biographical, religious-) oriented activities, and the possibility of an index in my book. I'm curious to know what kinds of items normally included in the index. I Should every person, place, thing, etc., or just things that are discussed in detail important? Are there any good examples of what a rule and, in an index?

It's really a question of usefulness is something special to be indexed. What is the purpose of the person picking up your book? Will you examine the person to write? If so, after reading your book, what do you want back? If there is only a general history, a religious man, not very useful to have indexes to their best friends and parents. But if this person has had several meetings with other political or religious people, leading to historic agreements, contracts or new perspectives to religious norms, it would be useful to have these people, and indexes the names of these treaties, regulations, contracts or. If you have to write about a church, for example, would be helpful if all members of this index. If I write something in the Bible, can be useful and for the index of the Bible use against all those involved in the story.
Finally, the index depends on the final composition. This is something that must be solved with the editor. Datedand you will not know on which side of these people and places are following the letter, it really is.
