Dictionary of Ecclesiastical Terms

Christianity has developed not only as a religion but as a way of life over the past two millenniums. It is the largest religion in the world, and half of the population of the world is Christian.

There is no doubt that there are various extraordinary complexities, as a religion, in this institution, however, the number of Christians has continued to increase.

Christianity has its own extensive vocabulary that happens to be beyond the comprehensive reach of a layman. A layman happens to comprehend only those words which he happens to hear in the daily conversation of Christians or clergymen. There are hundreds of words which are used by the high clergy and scholars of Christianity.

Christian preachers, priests, and other clergymen often use such words during their discourses which happen to be quite alien to a common man.
Some words happen to be even beyond the reach of the clergy. In this dictionary, we have tried to put together all those words with their definitions and descriptions, which might help a lay man to understand Christianity better.

Reading of certain ancient scriptures becomes quite impossible without the knowledge of these words.

If you are a student, teacher, or a person with interest in theology, this is the dictionary which you should not miss.
