Overview

"Stimulating theology" is an oxymoron for most people. "Theology" sounds like something for the severely intellectual, full of complicated ideas that escape the typical Christian reader.

In reality, theology is meant to enhance our understanding of God. Most of the words that make up the Christian vocabulary are common words, drawn from the realities of life, and therefore are easily applicable to real life. Based on this premise, four leading authors have come together to create this excellent volume.

The Theological Wordbook tackles tough words, such as propitiation, regeneration, righteousness, and predestination, but it does so in a natural, plain-spoken manner designed to be enlightening rather than evasive. Also, literally dozens of words you are likely to use every day, such as forgiveness, mind, peace, rest, family, truth, and guilt, have profound biblical value. Using The Theological Wordbook can enable you to more fully appreciate what the Bible teaches on these crucial topics and how each of these terms is relevant for life today.

As this happens, your understanding of God will expand. And as the words you use, speak, and hear in the community of faith become more familiar, you will become more connected to your own spiritual heritage.

The Theological Wordbook is the link between understanding God's Word in your head and accepting it in your heart.

“Since the word atonement is used to describe the temporary covering of sins in the Old Testament, it is inappropriate to use it in the New Testament to refer to Christ’s finished work of redemption.” (Page 28)

“etymologically the English verb ‘to atone’ and the noun ‘atonement’ signify the process and/or result of two estranged persons becoming ‘at one,’ that is, in agreement or reconciled.” (Pages 26–27)

“The biblical meaning of propitiation is that God’s wrath has been turned away from the sinner because of the supreme sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross.” (Pages 282–283)

“God’s election does not force anyone to believe, but election does insure the fact that they will certainly believe. Certainty differs from coercion. While the full issue is perhaps beyond human understanding, it is clear from the Scriptures that this is what is revealed. Those who are saved can rejoice in the fact that they were included in the plan of God from eternity past.” (Page 277)

“In 1 John 2–4 the apostle John expanded on Jesus’ teaching about abiding. The twenty-six references to abiding in these three chapters give evidence that this is a major theme in the epistle. Abiding in Christ affects one’s conduct, for as John wrote, ‘Whoever claims to live [menō] in him must walk as Jesus did’ (2:6).” (Page 2)
