Some people make theology complicated. Here’s what you need to know. Theology can be intimidating, full of big words and lofty ideas. Yet theological terms aren’t just for professors to argue about in the ivory tower. These powerful words have important meanings for the everyday Christian, too. They aren’t reserved for academic theologians. These terms belong to you! In 50 Most Important Theological Terms , Moody professors David Finkbeiner and Brian Tucker offer helpful explanations of the – isms and – ologies of Bible doctrine that you’ve heard of but aren’t sure what they mean. Beyond mere explanations, the authors help you understand why these terms matter, not just for classroom textbooks but for the book of real life. You’ll learn about questions Despite what you may have heard, theology actually is relevant. Don’t miss out on the meanings of theological terms. Get the answers from experts and let your confusion turn to understanding.
Do you want to understand theology a little better? This book has been amazing. I will say it’s a bit heavier than I thought it would be, so be prepared to spend your time in this book taking small chunks at a time. However, if you take your time and slowly work through this one it’s worth it! I learned so much, and when I wasn’t sure about something, I asked my Pastor! So if you’re looking for light reading, and quick learning this might not be for you. BUT, if you are willing to take your time and slowly go through this one, I PROMISE it’s worth it.

50 Most Important Theological Terms is for serious Bible students or theologians (in my opinion.) It isn't a sit-down-and-read-through type of book, but more of a study aid. Kind of like an encyclopedia or dictionary of sorts, explaining the meaning and relevancy of lesser known words and terms.
If you're looking for a guide to help you navigate through your studies, this is a great resource. Not only for terms, but for concepts, pertinence, and why these words matter in God's Word.
