Passage

Romans 4

• Doctrine

  Faith

  Measured against both Islamic creedal iman and Pashtunwali's own honor-code loyalty (nang); faith here is personal trust in Christ, not loyalty to either system.

  ROM.4.1-25

• Glossary Term

  Faith

  Shares the shared Islamic six-pillars creedal structure, but Pashtun listeners also measure loyalty against Pashtunwali's own honor code (nang), a parallel authoritative system that predates and sometimes competes with formal Islamic practice.

  ROM.4.1-25

• Glossary Term

  Resurrection

  CRITICAL: shares the Quran's crucifixion-denial (4:157) with Arabic and Persian.

  ROM.4.25

• Doctrine

  Resurrection of Christ

  CRITICAL: shares the Quran's crucifixion-denial (4:157) with Arabic and Persian; oral, narrative apologetic explanation is especially important given lower baseline literacy in many Pashto-speaking regions.
