Doctrine Analysis
This Language Package’s doctrine_risk_registry.json tracks 40 doctrines across Romans 1-16, each assigned a risk tier that drives Phase 2 review routing.
Risk tier summary
| Tier | Count | Review routing | Example doctrines |
|---|---|---|---|
| Critical | 8 | Human theologian, every occurrence | Salvation, Incarnation, Grace, Deity of Christ, Sonship of Christ, Resurrection of Christ, Lordship of Christ, Messianic Promise |
| High | 20 | Human theologian | Gospel, Divine Calling, Faith, Sanctification, Providence, Universal Scope of the Gospel, Unity of Jews and Gentiles |
| Medium | 9 | Native speaker review | Apostleship, Prayer and Intercession, Spiritual Gifts, Mission to the Nations, Evangelism, Church as God’s People, Kingdom Mission |
| Low | 3 | Automated review only | Thanksgiving, Mutual Edification, Christian Fellowship |
Why Critical doctrines cluster where they do
Dogri’s eight Critical-risk doctrines cluster around two specific, nameable local institutions rather than a diffuse cultural background. Incarnation, Sonship, and Deity of Christ are Critical because Raghunath Mandir’s royally patronized Rama-avatar devotion gives avatar theology unusual local prestige. Grace and Salvation are Critical because the Vaishno Devi pilgrimage’s mannat vow economy offers a concrete, currently active transactional model that a fluent-sounding Dogri rendering could accidentally reproduce. This is not a coincidence: these are precisely the doctrines where the “obvious” translation risks importing the exact framework Romans is written against.
Review routing rationale
Critical and High risk doctrines (28 of 40) require mandatory human theologian review because an automated or native-speaker-only check could confirm the Dogri is fluent without catching that it imports avatar theology or vow-exchange logic — or, in the opposite failure mode, that it has silently drifted into a Hindi Christian term rather than Dogri’s own vocabulary. Native speaker review is sufficient for Medium-risk doctrines, where the concern is cultural fit (e.g. colonial-mission associations, honor-culture sensitivity) rather than doctrinal contradiction.
