Big Theological Words

Mark Altrogge with a good post on why Christians should learn big theological words.  He writes:

Christians should learn big words. No, not big words like extemporaneous or preponderous or perspicacious. Although it might not be a bad idea. I mean words like propitiation, atonement, substitution, reconciliation. Why learn these big words? To impress folks at parties or prayer meetings? “So as I was driving my Jag to my stock broker’s house, I was just so thankful for penal substitution.” We should learn certain biblical and theological words because they will help us love God more. They will help us appreciate the depths of what he’s done for us, in turn fueling our love for him and joy in him.
