Much like other groups, i.e., government agencies, college Greek life, musicians, even siblings, the church uses their own brand of communication, commonly referred to as Christianese.

This list includes terms, definitions or general meanings and a scripture reference (where applicable) that provides biblical context or meaning.

Have you ever gone to get coffee at one of those fancy coffee shops? First you select your beverage, the size and then...the hard part...all the ingredients, milk or cream, espresso or not and on and on. There are literally dozens of ways to order a cup of coffee depending on your preferences.

Reading the Bible can be that way too. There are thousands of different versions, in multiple languages, formats and versions. Large or small print, columned pages, pages with room for note taking, small, medium, large and king size (get it, king?), electronic or hardbound. It's all according to your specific preferences and needs and identifying your needs is one of the first steps to making reading the Bible easier and more desirable. Just like your favorite cup of coffee.
