historical - Describing intellectual inquiry into the cause and effects of human action in space and time. While human history may be conceived a the sum total of human experience, that is ultimately a history that only God knows. What human beings regard as historical is limited to human action and reaction as discernible from documentation and made public and subject to review, criticism, and improvement. metanarrative - A grand, overarching story that takes a group of smaller, different stories and provides a framework for understanding how they all fit together. gospel - From the Greek term "euangelion," meaning "good news," "gospel" referred initially to preaching the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. Later it came to function also as a genre of literature focused on the person and teaching of Jesus. The four Gospels make up the first canonical unit of the New Testament. canon, canonical, canonization - From a Greek word meaning "measure," "canon" referred initially to a "rule" (as in a ruler with which one measures) but came to also refer to an official, approved list. Authorized persons, doctrines, and books can be designated as "canonical." Typically "canon" and "canonical" refer to the collection of Christian Scriptures, and "canonization" refers to the process by which those books were collected into an authoritative whole. prophet - A specialized spokesperson for God. In the Old Testament, various prophets appear in Joshua, Judges, Samuel, Kings, and Chronicles. The title is not sufficient, however, since these stories also include the presence of false prophets. Persons designated as prophets also appear in the New Testament and, as in the Old Testament, there are false prophets among them. sacrament, sacramental - Traditionally defined as an outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual grace. In a sacrament, God takes ordinary, mundane things (like water, bread, and wine) and accomplishes extraordinary things through them. The two "dominical" sacraments are baptism and the Lord's Supper. Lord's Supper - A ritual practiced by Christians, by Jesus's command, to memorialize Christ's death, celebrate Christian fellowship, and anticipate the great feast that will take place at Christ's return
