Sometimes the language Christians use to explain the faith and their religious experiences can be difficult. This happens, in part, because words and phrases which describe the central tenets of Christianity are unfamiliar to a Non-Christian world (trinity, substitutionary atonement, hypostatic union, liturgy, etc).
