Welcome to Theolectual Home Page




	What is a Theolectual?
	I am SO glad you asked!
	(GREAT NEWS!!! My very first THEOLECTUAL... click here!)
	As of 9 April, 2009, I googled "theolectual" and only found these few references...
	I looked it up in the dictionary, and could only find this.
	SOOOooooooo.... I get to define it MYSELF! (More recent google searches point to THIS website!)

	Basically, a theolectual is somebody who...
	...has 'some' theological education or exposure, but tends to come off as somewhat of a "know it all". (In the Texas oilfield, this person is said to be "all knowed up" - you can't tell him anything.) ...tends to talk like he is the only one who "understands" or can explain what God was thinking, or what a particular scripture or Greek or Hebrew word means, or what Paul meant. ...tends to "talk down" to or "lecture" everybody else.
	*A theolecutal* is NOT Somebody who...**
	...actually HAS studied theology and is knowledgeable in the field, and/or has a genuine understanding of things theological. ...is willing to defend his position in an intelligent and reasoned way.
	I always remind myself that there are people A LOT SMARTER THAN ME who disagree on some of the very concepts that theolectuals seem to have "all wrapped up". NOTE: You will NOT win somebody to your viewpoint by calling them an idiot.
