Words I didn’t know yesterday:

Kerygma: The Apostolic proclamation of salvation through Jesus Christ. I found this word reading Horton Davies’ Worship and Theology in England: From Cranmer to Baxter and Fox, 1534-1690.

Raconteur: A person who is skilled in telling anecdotes. I found this word reading The Bonfire of the Vanities, by Tom Wolfe.
