A THEOLOGICAL HANDBOOK FOR LAYMEN

by Van A. Harvey ‧ RELEASE DATE: Sept. 1, 1964

Believing that communication between clergy and laity puts responsibility on the laity to understand the language men have used to talk about things that matter in religion, the author offers a small volume in which terms he regards as essential to such discourse are explained. The words included are limited to those used in systematic and philosophical theology. Terms from liturgics, ethical, or Biblical discourse are excluded. The result would seem to be the selection of terms the author thinks laymen should know, rather than terms which laymen themselves might be asking about. While some of the items are explained helpfully, it remains doubtful whether laymen would care to know the meaning of ""antelapsarianism"" or will be helped by being told, ""see Predestination.
