The following is a glossary of terms that commonly appear on the show.

Canonicity

Canonicity deals with what books are considered canon for various religions, churches, or denominations. For instance a book such as Judith is considered canon in the Catholic church, but not most protestant churchse, which would make it deuterocanonical, while a book such as The Acts of Peter and Paul is not apocryphal, as no one considers it canonical.

Apocrypha
Content that is not part of the canon for any common church
Deuterocanon
Content that is canon for some churches but not all (e.g: Judith, which is canon in the Catholic church, but not protestant churches)
Pseudepigrapha
Falsely-attributed texts (e.g: texts attributed to Paul but which were likely not actually written by him)

Theology

Theology is the study of religion, and is often broken up into various sub-fields.

Eschatology
What will happen at the end of the world
Soteriology
What all goes into being saved
