Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A growing number of nonprofessional readers of theology, whether as individuals, in study groups, or in college courses, treat religion as the subject of disciplined study. Some acquaintance with the technical and traditional vocabulary is an asset to them. This guide to the meaning and use of nearly 350 theological terms provides something of the history and background of the terms it deals with. Copious cross-references add to the resources available for every entry. In the choice of terms to be explained, the primary emphasis is on those from systematic and philosophical theology. The text gives particular attention both to contemporary theology and to the historical differences between Protestants and Roman Catholics, and among Catholics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some people make theology complicated. Here’s what you need to know. Theology can be intimidating, full of big words and lofty ideas. Yet theological terms aren’t just for professors to argue about in the ivory tower. These powerful words have important meanings for the everyday Christian, too. They aren’t reserved for academic theologians. These terms belong to you! In 50 Most Important Theological Terms, Moody professors David Finkbeiner and Brian Tucker offer helpful explanations of the –isms and –ologies of Bible doctrine that you’ve heard of but aren’t sure what they mean. Beyond mere explanations, the authors help you understand why these terms matter, not just for classroom textbooks but for the book of real life. You’ll learn about questions like: How is Jesus fully God and fully human at the same time? By what means was sin passed to everyone from Adam? Do humans have only a body and soul, or a body, soul, and spirit? Is repentance from sin part of saving faith? And much more . . . Despite what you may have heard, theology actually is relevant. Don’t miss out on the meanings of theological terms. Get the answers from experts and let your confusion turn to understanding.
