Renewed Day by Day: Beloved Words of Theology and Scripture

Beloved Words of Theology and Scripture

Kara, the Biblio-file, has posted a list of some of her favorite words. I decided to follow suit, but with a slightly different emphasis. I am making a list of some of my favorite theological words and concepts. Some of these I like strictly for their sound and others for their meaning or even the implication for the lives of believers.

I think Tim Challies did something like this awhile back on his blog. My apologies in advance if there are misspellings. I didn't thoroughly verify the correct spellings of all, but if one came up as incorrect on my auto-format spelling, I tried to search for the correct spelling.

So in no particular order, here are several of my favorite theological or Scriptural words and phrases:

1) efficacious
2) effectual
3) sovereignty
4) sanctification
5) justification
6) providence
7) grace
8) hermeneutics
9) perspiscuity
10) inerrant
11) infallible
12) laud
13) redemption
14) propitiation
15) atonement
16) potentate
17) glorious
18) majestic
19) God-head
20) soteriology
21) Christophany
22) eschatology
23) orthodoxy
24) orthopraxy
25) Christology
26) baptistic
27) Soli Deo gloria
28) Sola fide
29) Sola scriptura
30) Solus Christus
31) Sola gratia
32) immutable
33) eternal
34) ineffable
35) immortality
36) Selah
37) quicken
38) omniscient

I hadn't intended this, but I noticed there is one word in common between Kara's and my list. Can you find which word it is?

Do you have any favorite or especially meaningful words to you?

sesquipedalian

It earned the "word of the year" award in 2006 and it's been a favorite ever since.

At our Thanksgiving gathering that year Dad and Mom were dressed as indians. We named Dad Chief No-wanna-sin and Mom was Queen Sesquipedalia....since it sounded rather indianish...
