Glossary  From the Greek glossa (tongue, language, utterance, word); thus a list of words with their definitions.  Two goals impact the choice and definition of words in this text: 1) to remain true to historical and technical usage as much as possible, 2) to creatively adapt some terms to the Christian worldview (cf. logic in relation to theology as "the study of the principles by which God is known").  In the view of the author, this is necessary to develop a coherent and consistent worldview that seeks to do justice to Christian presuppositions.
