Whenever I start diving into theology on Wikipedia, I'm always struck by the similarity of Bible study to the effort put into Wikis about Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, etc.
Basically, early Christians were fanboys obsessed with the minutia and canonical stories of their favorite fantasy series published in two volumes. (Amusingly, it seems that L. Ron Hubbard noticed the same thing years ago and thought, "Hey, I can do that...")

> Epiousios (ἐπιούσιος) is a Greek adjective used in the Lord's Prayer verse "Τὸν ἄρτον ἡμῶν τὸν ἐπιούσιον δὸς ἡμῖν σήμερον"[a] 'Give us today our epiousion bread'. Because the word is used nowhere else, its meaning is unclear. It is traditionally translated as "daily", but most modern scholars reject that interpretation.
