Theologian Charles Hodge noted: "Original sin is the only rational solution of the undeniable fact of the deep, universal and early manifested sinfulness of men in all ages, of every class, and in every part of the world." And thus we need God's word and His saving grace to rightly understand our world. And to assist the believer in learning God's word, one needs to understand scriptural doctrines and truths. Moreover in "Westminister Dictionary Of Theological Terms" the reader finds the proper definition of numerous biblical terms as well as doctrinal expressions employed by Christian scholars.
