Description
The meaning and significance of the Christian faith are diminished when its key words are not understood. Christians have a special vocabulary of holy words, but often have difficulty explaining what those words mean. As a result, blessings of understanding and spiritual comfort are less than full. This book is designed to help Christians express and appreciate the most important of faith's Holy Words.We assume, for example, that everyone knows what holy or glory or sin mean. But when we explore the history of these words we uncover a new depth of understanding. Preachers and lay leaders will find this resource helpful in their sermon preparation and Bible study.The index lists over 130 frequently used words, numbers, and phrases which have special significance in biblical and religious writings. Some examples are: amen, benediction, clergy, devil, Eucharist, kyrie, love, Yahweh; and numbers such as 1, 3, 4, 7, 10, 40, and 70 x 7. Also included is an eight-lesson guide that will help users conduct a fascinating group study.
