Salvation
CRITICAL: rizgarî and its companion azadî (freedom) are the defining vocabulary of Kurdish political nationalism across all four host states - the century-long stateless liberation struggle is described using exactly these words (‘Rizgariya Kurdistanê’). This creates a real risk that ‘salvation’ is heard first as national political liberation rather than personal deliverance from sin, or conversely that the material is read as coded political speech. Every occurrence must anchor the term to Christ’s specific, personal, spiritual deliverance.
