It is typical of any group or organization to develop its own unique jargon. And the church is no exception. At times, we can employ religious terminology that does not typically appear in everyday conversation (e.g., incarnation, propitiation, atonement). While it’s never wrong to use such terms, it can be harmful to never discuss and explain them. This series seeks to unpack words that could be considered a form of “Christianese” so that all of us may have a deeper understanding of and appreciation for each term.
