  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...  
 
  1. ...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.)

  2. ...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.

  3. ...tends to "talk down" to or "lecture" everybody else.

 
  A theolecutal is NOT Somebody who...  
 
  1. ...actually HAS studied theology and is knowledgeable in the field, and/or has a genuine understanding of things theological.

  2. ...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.
