Definition: Widener means "priest or priestess" in Latin, suggesting a spiritual authority over heretics or Christians, akin to a bishop's authority. The term implies power over religious leaders or institutions. It often connotes a high level of moral or theological authority. In Hebrews 10:29, Paul refers to himself as a widener, indicating he is not a true believer but an apostle with spiritual authority.
