Funny things about seminary

In any discipline, there is a vocabulary which goes with it.
When I was studying business in undergrad, we had "marketing words", "management words", and so on.

In seminary, I've gotten exposure to some great words which are fun to me (some words make me chuckle), I'm going to list a few, which will never make it into a sermon, but are fun nonetheless. If you dont' know what it means...I'll let you look it up! I'm being lazy today.


salvific
ontological
locus classicus
cognitive state
antinomy
dispositional ontology (you Edwardsians will know that one)
ex opera operato
consummation
eschatological reality
hapax legomena
nomianism
analogia scripturae


There is more. I'm not doing this to show off, I promise, just to blow off some steam about how various disciplines have their own language. If someone wants to humble me with engineering terms I will have no clue about, go for it.
