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 | 7 | Human theologian, every occurrence | Salvation, Incarnation, Deity of Christ, Sonship of Christ, Resurrection of Christ, Lordship of Christ, Messianic Promise |
| High | 23 | Human theologian | Gospel, Divine Calling, Grace, Faith, Sanctification, Universal Scope of the Gospel, Unity of Jews and Gentiles |
| Medium | 7 | Native speaker review | Apostleship, Prayer and Intercession, Spiritual Gifts, Mission to the Nations, Evangelism |
| Low | 3 | Automated review only | Thanksgiving, Mutual Edification, Christian Fellowship |
Why Critical doctrines cluster where they do
All seven Critical-risk doctrines share one property distinctive to Gujarati: each has a ready-made, fluent-sounding word drawn from Hindu Vaishnav bhakti tradition AND a separate, equally fluent-sounding word or conceptual gap drawn from Jain tradition. This dual pattern is not a coincidence — Gujarat’s religious landscape genuinely holds these two systems side by side, and a mistranslation would read as correct to either a Hindu-background or Jain-background Gujarati speaker rather than as an obvious error (see Comparative Theology).
Review routing rationale
Critical and High risk doctrines (30 of 40) require mandatory human theologian review because an automated or native-speaker-only check could confirm the Gujarati is fluent without catching that it imports a contradictory theological framework from either tradition. Native speaker review is sufficient for Medium-risk doctrines, where the concern is cultural fit and sensitivity (e.g. colonial connotations of “mission,” or conversion sensitivity in Jain communities) rather than doctrinal contradiction.
