Subject: Compiled by two Jesuit theologians, this dictionary defines more than 1200 theological terms with entries ranging in size from single sentences to 500-word essays. Construing "theology" very broadly, the authors include biblical, catechetical, ethical, historical, liturgical, and philosophical terms. Though some are taken from Protestant, Eastern Orthodox, and non-Christian traditions, the dictionary is primarily for students of Roman Catholicism. The entries are thoroughly cross-referenced and, with relatively few lapses, lucidly defined. The authors do not aim for originality, and most of the terms they have chosen can be found in one or more of the standard dictionaries and encyclopedias of Catholicism. There are no bibliographies or biographical entries. Still, this convenient, up-to-date compendium of terms will be a valued desk companion for anyone confronting texts laced with the argot of Catholic theology. Recommended. https://www.amazon.com/Concise-Dictionary-Theology-Gerald-OCollins/dp/0809132354/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=0809132354&qid=1586207421&sr=8-1
