Doctrine Analysis
Doctrine Analysis — Book of Mark (Hmong)
This document is the full doctrine matrix for the Mark Hmong Language Package, Phase 1. It reproduces — and does not contradict — the eight doctrines, risk tiers, and review-routing decisions already fixed in assets/doctrine_risk_registry.json (Mark baseline v1.0). Part A restates each doctrine with an expanded supporting-passage list drawn from full-book coverage. Part B is the chapter-by-chapter coverage log mandated by the PRD full-book-coverage rule: every chapter of Mark, 1-16, is logged explicitly, whether or not it surfaces new doctrinally load-bearing content, per the convention established in the Romans baseline’s Part B and reaffirmed in analysis/12_ai_translation_requirements.md’s system prompt (“never silently skip a chapter… log it as reviewed instead”).

Note on internal consistency: risk tiers, doctrine names, and routing decisions above are copied verbatim from assets/doctrine_risk_registry.json; no divergence is introduced in this document. Supporting-passage lists are expanded relative to the registry (which cites a representative subset) to reflect full-book coverage, but no new doctrine, tier, or routing decision is added beyond what the registry already establishes.
Part B — Chapter-by-Chapter Full-Book Coverage Log
Every chapter of Mark is logged below. Chapters are marked [ACTIVE] where new terms/doctrine-touchpoints are surfaced beyond what a prior chapter already logged, or [REVIEWED — recurrence only] where the chapter’s content reinforces doctrines/terms already logged without introducing new translation-risk material.
Chapter 1 — [ACTIVE]
- Doctrines touched: 1 (Son of God, 1:1, 1:11), 2 (Kingdom breaking in, 1:14-15), 3 (implicit — calling amid uncertainty), 6 (Messianic Secret, 1:24-25, 1:34, 1:44), 7 (Authority over sickness/demons, 1:23-27, 1:40-42).
- Key terms: A5 (Vaj Ntsuj Plig, 1:8,10,12), B10 (kingdom at hand, 1:15), B6 (dab/dab qias, 1:23,26,34), B7 (mob ruas/leprosy, 1:40-42), B23 (silencing command, 1:25,34,44), A28 (baptism, 1:4-11, literal sense).
- Note: Programmatic chapter; establishes the thesis (1:1, 1:14-15) around which the whole Gospel and this doctrine set are organized.
Chapter 2 — [ACTIVE]
- Doctrines touched: 1 (Son of Man / authority to forgive sins, 2:10, 2:28), 7 (authority over sin, 2:5-12).
- Key terms: B1 (Son of Man, first occurrence, 2:10), A16 (sin), A30 (righteous, 2:17).
- Note: First occurrence of “Son of Man” title; anchor point for the humility/authority tension documented in doctrine 1’s translation risk.
Chapter 3 — [ACTIVE]
- Doctrines touched: 1 (demons declare Son of God, 3:11), 6 (Messianic Secret, 3:11-12), 7 (exorcism/authority), and the unforgivable-sin material feeding doctrine 1’s Spirit-vs-Adversary contrast.
- Key terms: A9 (the Twelve appointed), B11 (blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, 3:28-29), B12 (Beelzebul, 3:22), B6 (dab).
- Note: Blasphemy-against-the-Spirit material (B11) is doctrinally adjacent to doctrine 7’s Spirit/authority cluster but is not itself one of the eight assigned doctrines; logged here as term-level coverage only, consistent with the glossary’s B11 entry.
Chapter 4 — [ACTIVE]
- Doctrines touched: 2 (Kingdom parables, 4:11, 4:26-32), 3 (storm-calming, faith vs. fear, 4:35-41).
- Key terms: A25 (mystery, 4:11), B13 (parable, 4:2 and throughout), B14 (fear, 4:41), A14 (power/authority over nature, qualified).
- Note: First full statement of the faith/fear antithesis (doctrine 3) and first nature-miracle instance of doctrine 7’s authority-over-nature pole.
Chapter 5 — [ACTIVE]
- Doctrines touched: 3 (faith amid fear, 5:15, 5:33-36), 6 (Messianic Secret, 5:43), 7 (authority over demons and sickness/death, 5:1-20, 5:25-34, 5:41-42).
- Key terms: B6/B15 (Legion, dab), B16 (“your faith has saved/healed you,” 5:34), B17 (Talitha koum, 5:41), B23 (silencing command, 5:43).
- Note: Densest single-chapter concentration of doctrine 7’s collision material (demon-negotiation vs. sovereign word) alongside doctrine 3’s faith/fear pairing (5:36).
Chapter 6 — [REVIEWED — recurrence only]
- Doctrines touched: 3 (fear on the water, 6:49-52, recurrence of the storm-motif established in ch.4).
- Key terms: B14 (fear), A9 (sending of the Twelve, apostleship term reused), B8 (compassion, 6:34).
- Note: No new doctrinally load-bearing term surfaced beyond what chapters 1-5 already established; John the Baptist’s death and the feeding of the 5,000 reinforce prior Kingdom/authority material without new translation-risk vocabulary. Logged per full-book-coverage mandate.
Chapter 7 — [ACTIVE]
- Doctrines touched: 7 (healing the deaf-mute, 7:31-37, authority-over-sickness pole); indirectly informs doctrine 1 (Jesus relocating the locus of impurity) but is not itself one of the eight primary doctrines.
- Key terms: B18 (tradition of the elders), B19 (clean/unclean — qias/dawb huv contrast), B20 (heart/lub siab), B21 (Corban), A17 (Law, contrasted with B18), A31 (worship, cultic).
- Note: This chapter’s clean/unclean material (B19) is the single most direct point of contact with the Romans baseline’s sanctification/
dawb huvcollision; flagged for cross-referencing in future curriculum modules even though it does not map onto one of the eight assigned Mark doctrines by name.
Chapter 8 — [ACTIVE]
- Doctrines touched: 1 (Peter’s confession, 8:29-31), 4 (first passion prediction and cross-call, 8:31-34), 6 (Messianic Secret, 8:29-30).
- Key terms: B22 (the Christ, standalone), B24 (cross, first occurrence, 8:34), B25 (deny himself/psychē), B1 (Son of Man suffering, 8:31).
- Note: Structural hinge of the Gospel; first explicit linking of Son of Man/Christ titles to necessary suffering (doctrine 4) and the first “take up the cross” call to discipleship, requiring the B24/B25 disambiguation documented in the glossary.
Chapter 9 — [ACTIVE]
- Doctrines touched: 1 (Transfiguration, 9:7, and Messianic Secret 9:9), 3 (demon-possessed boy, “I believe, help my unbelief,” 9:23-24), 4 (second passion prediction, 9:31), 5 (who is greatest, 9:33-37), 6 (Messianic Secret, 9:9), 7 (exorcism of the boy).
- Key terms: A4/A7 (Father, Son of God at Transfiguration), B27 (Gehenna, 9:43-48), B14 (fear, 9:32 — implicit in disciples’ incomprehension), B26 (general servant, 9:35, first occurrence of the servanthood-vs-greatness theme later climaxing in the core passage).
- Note: Dense chapter touching six of the eight doctrines; establishes the servanthood theme (doctrine 5) that the core passage (10:35-45) will bring to its climax.
Chapter 10 — [ACTIVE — CORE PASSAGE CHAPTER]
- Doctrines touched: All eight, with doctrines 1, 4, 5, 8 reaching their fullest expression in this chapter, especially 10:35-45.
- Key terms: B28 (“it has been prepared,” 10:40), B29 (indignant, 10:41), B30 (lord it over, 10:42), A10/B26 (qhev/servant, 10:43-44), B2/B3 (ransom, for many, 10:45), B31 (Son of David, 10:47-48), B16 (faith that saves/heals, 10:52).
- Note: This is the theological anchor of the whole curriculum per the core_Bible_passage parameter. All escalation triggers in §9 of the governing requirements apply with maximum force to any content drawn from this chapter.
Chapter 11 — [ACTIVE]
- Doctrines touched: 2 (triumphal entry — nationalist/kingdom misunderstanding echoing 10:37), 7 (fig tree — authority over nature, symbolic judgment), and background material for doctrine 1 (implicit kingship claims).
- Key terms: B32 (Hosanna), B33 (den of robbers), A21 (governing authority — contrast with temple authorities), A14 (authority, 11:28-33, direct question to Jesus).
- Note: The triumphal-entry acclamation directly risks the same nationalist-kingdom misreading flagged for doctrine 2 in the registry; must be taught with the same already/not-yet caution as 1:15 and 10:37.
Chapter 12 — [ACTIVE]
- Doctrines touched: 1 (Son of David/Lord tension, 12:35-37, directly flagged in the glossary as High doctrinal weight), 2 (“not far from the Kingdom,” 12:34).
- Key terms: A2 (Lord, High doctrinal weight at 12:35-37), B31 (Son of David), A27 (love, greatest commandment), A17 (Law, greatest commandment context).
- Note: 12:35-37 is a load-bearing implicit-deity text (Christ as David’s Lord, not merely his son) that must be taught alongside doctrine 1’s Son of Man/Son of God tension; no new term beyond those already logged.
Chapter 13 — [ACTIVE]
- Doctrines touched: 3 (eschatological watchfulness amid fear/persecution, 13:9-13), 2 (Kingdom consummation still future, contrasted with its present in-breaking).
- Key terms: B34 (abomination of desolation, 13:14), B35 (watch/be alert, 13:33-37), A5 (Holy Spirit, 13:11), A18 (Scripture/prophetic fulfillment).
- Note: Extends doctrine 3’s fear/faith antithesis into an eschatological register; extends doctrine 2’s already/not-yet tension toward final consummation.
Chapter 14 — [ACTIVE]
- Doctrines touched: 1 (Sanhedrin trial, “I am,” 14:61-62; blasphemy charge), 4 (Gethsemane, necessity of the cup/cross, 14:32-36), 8 (Last Supper covenant and “poured out for many,” 14:22-24).
- Key terms: B4 (covenant), B3 (for many, 14:24, parallel to 10:45), A29 (Abba, Father, 14:36), B36 (“I am,” 14:62), A17 (Law, trial context).
- Note: Direct doctrinal parallel to the core passage — 14:24’s “poured out for many” reinforces 10:45’s ransom language and must use the same fixed B3 collocation for consistency.
Chapter 15 — [ACTIVE]
- Doctrines touched: 1 (climactic confession, “Truly this man was the Son of God,” 15:39), 4 (crucifixion narrative, 15:22-37).
- Key terms: B24 (cross), B37 (cry of dereliction, 15:34), B38 (temple curtain, 15:38), A7 (Son of God, climactic occurrence).
- Note: Narrative resolution of doctrine 1’s central tension — the suffering, dying figure on the cross is confessed, at the point of maximal apparent weakness, as Son of God; this is the doctrinal payoff the entire curriculum has been building toward.
Chapter 16 — [ACTIVE]
- Doctrines touched: 3 (fear at the empty tomb, 16:8), and indirectly 2 (resurrection as vindication of the in-breaking Kingdom) and 8 (resurrection as vindication of the ransom’s efficacy).
- Key terms: B14 (fear, 16:8, final occurrence — deliberately left unresolved in the shorter ending, requiring a careful teaching note not to flatten Mark’s abrupt close), A8 (Gospel, 16:15, longer ending), A15 (salvation, 16:16, longer ending).
- Note: Mark’s distinctive abrupt/awe-struck ending must not be smoothed over; 16:8’s fear is the final instance of doctrine 3’s central motif and should be taught as an open invitation rather than narrative failure.
Coverage Completeness Statement
All sixteen chapters of Mark have been logged above per the full-book-coverage mandate. No chapter was silently omitted. Chapters 6 alone is logged as reinforcement-only (no new doctrinally load-bearing term); all others are logged as active contributors to at least one of the eight registered doctrines or to the term-level glossary underlying them. This matrix introduces no new doctrine, risk tier, or routing decision beyond assets/doctrine_risk_registry.json v1.0 and is fully consistent with it.
