| Religious Terms Defined: Introduction |
|
|
|
|
As a result of Vos’ eagerness for accessibility and clarity, each issue of The Blue Banner Faith and Life offered the reader a list of “Religious Terms Defined.” His lists progressed alphabetically, so in one issue, there might only be words that begin with “s,” and the next, words that begin with “t.” When he had exhausted the alphabet, he started over, refining and revising definitions and adding new terms, as appropriate. The list offered here is a compilation of his lists, with no attempt to combine different editions of a definition. The parenthetical numbers at the end of each definition tell from which volume and number of the Blue Banner Faith and Life that it came. |
