Doctrine Analysis — Luke — English → Ukrainian

This document is the full doctrine matrix for the Luke curriculum. It is generated in lockstep with, and is fully consistent with, assets/doctrine_risk_registry.json: same doctrine set, same Ukrainian doctrine names, same risk tiers, same review routing. Per PRD Phase 1 mandate, coverage spans all 24 chapters of Luke; the core passage (4:16-21) is the theological anchor of the curriculum, not its scope boundary. Every chapter is explicitly accounted for in Part 2 below, including confirmation for chapters whose doctrine-bearing content is already fully captured by rows established in earlier chapters.

Risk tiers follow the baseline doctrine_risk_registry.json definitions exactly (Critical / High / Medium / Low), and review routing follows the same escalation logic already established for Romans and Galatians.

Part 1: Doctrine Matrix

#	Doctrine	Ukrainian doctrine name	Risk	Primary Luke passages	Translation risk (grounded reason)	Review routing
1	Jesus as Savior for All Nations and All People (Jew and Gentile, Rich and Poor)	Ісус — Спаситель для всіх народів і всіх людей	Critical	2:11; 2:30-32; 3:6; 4:18-19; 7:1-10; 10:25-37; 15:1-32; 19:1-10; 24:47	Converges the погани/народи false-friend drift, the antisemitic-violence sensitivity around Jew/Gentile comparison texts, and спасіння’s need to stay anchored to Christ’s death-and-resurrection rather than defaulting into any one tradition’s soteriological system. Спаситель’s folk-liturgical rooting (“Спас”) is an asset that must not be diluted into a generic honorific.	Human theologian
2	The Holy Spirit’s Work in Salvation History	Діяння Святого Духа в історії спасіння	Critical	1:15, 35, 41, 67; 3:16, 22; 4:1, 18; 10:21; 11:13; 12:10, 12; 24:49	Luke has the highest Spirit-reference density of any Gospel, maximally exercising the baseline’s standing rule that bare “дух” must never stand for the Holy Spirit given wartime idioms (“бойовий дух”). Blasphemy against the Spirit (12:10) carries acute pastoral risk of readers wrongly self-diagnosing amid wartime guilt/trauma.	Human theologian
3	Good News to the Poor and Marginalized	Добра новина для вбогих і знедолених	Critical	4:18; 6:20-26; 7:22; 14:13, 21; 16:19-31; 18:22; 21:1-4	Must retain full literal, material force given real wartime displacement and poverty, not be spiritualized away, while not erasing its spiritual dimension either. “Captives” (полонений, 4:18) carries acute live resonance with Ukrainian POWs.	Human theologian
4	Repentance and Forgiveness of Sins	Покаяння і прощення грiхiв	Critical	3:3-8; 5:32; 15:1-32; 18:9-14; 19:1-10; 24:47	покаяння also names the specific priest-mediated Sacrament of Confession in the Orthodox and Greek Catholic traditions; Luke’s broader whole-life-turning sense must be taught explicitly. ἄφεσις’s double sense (release / forgiveness) must not be silently resolved to only one.	Human theologian
5	Prayer and Dependence on God	Молитва і залежність від Бога	High	10:38-42; 11:1-13; 12:22-32; 18:1-8; 22:39-46	Anxious-worry teaching must never imply that legitimate wartime fear or grief is itself sinful or evidence of weak faith. “Daily bread” carries literal, present-tense weight for displaced and materially insecure readers.	Human theologian
6	The Kingdom of God Present and Future	Царство Боже — теперішнє і майбутнє	Critical	4:21; 8:1, 10; 10:9-11; 11:20; 13:18-21; 17:20-21; 19:11; 21:31	The curriculum’s doctrinal crux. σήμερον (4:21) and ἤγγικεν (10:9-11) both require explicit both/and exposition; 17:21’s ἐντὸς ὑμῶν is a genuinely unresolved Greek ambiguity with major stakes. Царство additionally carries the baseline’s documented loaded resonance with Russian imperial rule.	Human theologian
7	The Cost and Joy of Discipleship	Ціна і радість учнівства	High	9:23-25, 57-62; 14:25-33; 15:7, 10, 32; 22:39-46	Luke’s distinctive “daily” cross-bearing (9:23) must not be softened given live wartime sacrifice discourse. Мамона must retain rival-master personification given current profiteering/corruption discourse. Joy (χαρά) must track consistently as a unifying theme-word.	Human theologian
8	Jesus’ Compassion and Table Fellowship with Sinners	Милосердя Ісуса і трапезне спілкування з грішниками	Critical	5:12-16, 27-32; 7:36-50; 15:1-2; 19:1-10	Must not be domesticated into generic kindness; the boundary-crossing was genuinely scandalous. Wartime moral discourse must not narrow “sinner” to mean only an external enemy/aggressor. Милість must stay lexically distinct from благодать [TM: grace].	Human theologian
9	Messianic Anointing and Fulfillment of Prophecy	Месіанське помазання і сповнення пророцтва	Critical	4:16-21 (core passage); 24:26-27, 44-46	The etymological link помазав↔Христос/Месія must be made explicit since Христос has worn smooth into a mere surname in everyday Ukrainian. σήμερον’s emphatic immediacy (4:21) is the passage’s entire hinge and must not be softened.	Human theologian
10	Jubilee and the Year of the Lord’s Favor	Ювілейний рік Господньої милості	High	4:19	Requires explicit Leviticus 25 background exposition or the phrase reads as vague poetic language rather than a concrete socio-economic institution. Must stay lexically distinct from благодать [TM: grace, Critical] despite conceptual overlap.	Human theologian
11	Grace and Mary’s Favored Status	Благодать і обраність Марії	Critical	1:26-38; 1:46-55	κεχαριτωμένη (1:28) is a primary Marian devotional proof-text for two of Ukraine’s three living traditions, each with a distinct developed Marian/grace theology. Must describe God’s gracious initiative at this moment, never resolved silently toward or against either tradition’s fuller framework.	Human theologian
12	Humility and Divine Reversal of Status	Смирення і Боже перевернення статусів	High	1:48-53; 6:20-26; 14:11; 18:14	Both majority traditions have a rich ascetic смирення tradition; must be taught as God’s gracious reversal received by faith, not primarily an ascetic achievement earning merit.	Native speaker review
13	The Authority of Christ	Влада Христа	High	4:32, 36; 5:24; 6:5; 9:1; 20:1-8	Влада is acutely live in current civic discourse (state authority, church jurisdiction, wartime governance); Christ’s unique authority must stay clearly distinct from any contemporary authority controversy.	Human theologian
14	Civic Authority and Render to Caesar	Громадянська влада і «віддайте кесареві»	High	20:20-26; 23:1-7	Regularly invoked in current Ukrainian public discourse about civic duty, taxation, and loyalty during wartime; must be taught as Jesus’ both/and principle, not a blank endorsement or rejection of state authority.	Human theologian
15	Love of Enemies	Любов до ворогів	Critical	6:27-36	Among the most acutely difficult teachings to apply pastorally for a readership living through a war of aggression by an identifiable enemy. Must not be presented as demanding premature reconciliation as a precondition of faithfulness.	Human theologian
16	Universal Scope of the Gospel: Jew, Gentile, and Samaritan	Всеохопність Євангелія: юдей, погани і самаряни	High	4:25-27; 7:1-10; 10:25-37; 17:11-19	ἐθνῶν/ἔθνη must render as народи, never погани, given the term’s modern derogatory drift, and given the historical weight of antisemitic violence including Babyn Yar. Samaritan figures extend the boundary-crossing theme to a second outsider category.	Human theologian
17	Captivity and Liberation	Полон і звільнення	Critical	1:68-79; 4:18; 21:28	полонений is, since February 2022, one of the most emotionally and politically live words in Ukrainian, denoting Ukrainian POWs held by Russia. Requires explicit theological framing at every occurrence so the text is never read as political commentary nor drained of force by treating it as merely spiritual.	Human theologian
18	Widows: Vulnerability, Compassion, and Honor	Вдови: вразливість, милосердя і честь	High	2:36-38; 7:11-17; 18:1-8; 21:1-4	Ukraine currently has an unusually large war-widow population; these scenes’ themes of loss and persistent faith carry acute, current emotional weight parallel to усиновлення for war orphans.	Human theologian
19	Wealth, Mammon, and the Cost of Discipleship	Багатство, мамона і ціна учнівства	High	12:13-21; 16:1-31; 18:18-30; 19:1-10	Мамона must retain rival-master personification, not flatten into generic money-talk, given intense current discourse about wartime economic exploitation and corruption. Zacchaeus’s reversal must be read as repentance-with-restitution, not a mere generosity tale.	Native speaker review
20	Divine Visitation in Salvation History	Боже відвідання в історії спасіння	Medium	1:68, 78; 7:16; 19:44	Requires glossing on first occurrence so “visited” carries sovereign, decisive-intervention register, not a casual social visit.	Native speaker review
21	John’s Baptism of Repentance	Іванове хрещення покаяння	Medium	3:1-22	Both majority traditions practice near-universal infant sacramental baptism; John’s adult baptism-of-repentance must be explicitly distinguished from full Christian sacramental baptism theology.	Native speaker review
22	Transfiguration and the Glory of Christ	Преображення і слава Христа	Medium	9:28-36	Преображення is a major feast in both the Orthodox and Greek Catholic liturgical calendars (positive cultural rooting); must be taught with its Lukan narrative function (confirming Jesus ahead of the passion, 9:31), not assumed to carry only its feast associations.	Native speaker review
23	Jesus’ Lament over Jerusalem	Плач Ісуса над Єрусалимом	Medium	13:34-35; 19:41-44	May resonate with unintended immediacy for readers whose own cities have suffered destruction in the current war; resonance may register pastorally without collapsing the specific historical referent into a direct allegory for the present conflict.	Native speaker review
24	Faith and Healing as Signs of Salvation	Віра та зцілення як знаки спасіння	High	7:50; 8:43-48; 17:11-19; 18:35-43	The recurring formula’s double sense (physical healing / spiritual salvation, one Greek verb σῴζω) must be preserved through explicit exposition, never resolved into only “healed” or only “saved.”	Human theologian
25	Paradise and the Immediacy of Hope at the Cross	Рай і невідкладність надії при хресті	Medium	23:39-43	”Today” (сьогодні) here explicitly echoes the core passage’s identical adverb at 4:21; the connection should be noted explicitly in teaching materials.	Native speaker review
26	Institution of the New Covenant	Встановлення Нового Завіту	High	22:14-20	Новий Завіт is also the standard Ukrainian name for the New Testament as a book collection, the same book-title-flattening risk documented for Євангеліє; context must make clear Jesus institutes a covenant-relationship at this meal, not merely references a future book collection.	Human theologian
27	Witness and Testimony to the Resurrection	Свідчення про воскресіння	Medium	24:44-49	μάρτυς is etymologically the root of мученик (martyr); given Ukraine’s live martyrdom-adjacent wartime discourse, свідки (testimonial witnesses) must stay clearly distinct from мученики.	Native speaker review
28	The Resurrection of Christ	Воскресіння Христа	High	24:1-53	The doctrinal capstone of the Gospel, vindicating the core passage’s messianic-fulfillment claim. Central to Ukrainian identity via Великдень across all traditions; must not flatten into calendar-festival familiarity alone.	Human theologian
29	Justification by Faith within the Gospel Narrative	Виправдання вірою в євангельському наративі	Critical	18:9-14	A pre-Pauline instance of justification-by-humble-faith reinforcing the baseline’s Critical Romans/Galatians doctrine; виправданий must reuse the baseline’s exact term, never оправдання nor a mere “forgiven” gloss.	Human theologian
30	Fulfillment of Prophecy	Сповнення пророцтва	Medium	4:21; 24:25-27, 44-46	Consistency with the Romans baseline’s “сповнення пророцтва” doctrine-name pattern matters for cross-curriculum coherence; Luke 24 should be taught as part of a whole-Bible pattern, not an isolated proof-text.	Native speaker review
31	Inspiration of Scripture	Богонатхненність Писання	High	4:17-21; 24:27, 44-45	Both majority traditions hold Scripture authoritative within Передання (Holy Tradition) rather than as a stand-alone final authority; this curriculum’s implicit sola scriptura framing should be stated plainly, per the identical baseline caution for Romans.	Human theologian

Critical Risk Doctrines

Jesus as Savior for All Nations and All People (Jew and Gentile, Rich and Poor)

Ukrainian name: Ісус — Спаситель для всіх народів і всіх людей
Key terms: savior, salvation, light_to_nations, faith, gentiles
Review routing: Human theologian

This curriculum’s headline doctrine converges every major Ukraine-specific risk already documented in the baseline: погани’s derogatory modern drift (must render ἔθνη as народи in these mission-scope texts, per 2:32’s ‘light to the nations’), the historical weight of antisemitic violence when treating Jew/Gentile unity (7:9’s centurion comparison; 10:25-37’s Samaritan), and Спаситель’s cultural rooting via ‘Спас’ folk-liturgical vocabulary, which is an asset that must not be diluted into a generic honorific. Must be anchored to Christ’s decisive death-and-resurrection act (per the baseline’s salvation entry) rather than defaulting into any one tradition’s fuller theological system.

---

The Holy Spirit’s Work in Salvation History

Ukrainian name: Діяння Святого Духа в історії спасіння
Key terms: holy_spirit, spirit_of_the_lord, anointed, blasphemy_against_holy_spirit, power_from_on_high
Review routing: Human theologian

Luke has the highest density of Spirit-references in any Gospel, making it the single richest test of the baseline’s standing rule that bare ‘дух’ (without Святий) must never stand for the Holy Spirit, given wartime idioms like ‘бойовий дух’ (fighting spirit/morale). The core passage’s ‘Дух Господній’ (4:18) requires explicit first-occurrence identification as the Holy Spirit rather than a generic OT idiom. Blasphemy against the Spirit (12:10) additionally requires mandatory theologian review given the acute pastoral risk of anxious readers wrongly fearing they have committed it amid wartime trauma and guilt.

---

Good News to the Poor and Marginalized

Ukrainian name: Добра новина для вбогих і знедолених
Key terms: poor, oppressed_crushed, captives, blessed_woe, widow, leper_cleanse, tax_collector
Review routing: Human theologian

This doctrine’s vocabulary must retain full literal, material force for readers living through mass wartime displacement, front-line economic collapse, and real poverty — ‘poor’ must not be spiritualized away into an inward-only category, which would blunt a doctrine this curriculum names explicitly, while its spiritual dimension must equally not be erased in favor of social program alone. ‘Captives’ (полонений, 4:18) carries acute, currently-live resonance with Ukrainian POWs and requires mandatory theologian review at every occurrence to avoid being read as political commentary on the current war.

---

Repentance and Forgiveness of Sins

Ukrainian name: Покаяння і прощення грiхiв
Key terms: repentance, release_forgiveness, lost, sinner, god_be_merciful_sinner_prayer, justified
Review routing: Human theologian

покаяння names the specific priest-mediated Sacrament of Confession in both the Orthodox and Greek Catholic traditions; Luke’s usage is a broader, ongoing, whole-life turning not reducible to that single ritual event, and this distinction must be taught explicitly rather than assumed. ἄφεσις’s double sense (literal release / forgiveness of sins) must be preserved through exposition rather than silently resolved in either direction. Luke 24:47’s climactic commissioning statement converges every risk in this doctrine simultaneously with the mission-to-nations doctrine and must be resolved consistently with earlier chapter treatments.

---

The Kingdom of God Present and Future

Ukrainian name: Царство Боже — теперішнє і майбутнє
Key terms: kingdom_of_god, kingdom_has_come_near, today_fulfillment, kingdom_within_among_you, mystery_of_kingdom
Review routing: Human theologian

This is the doctrinal crux the whole curriculum names explicitly. The core passage’s σήμερον (‘today,’ 4:21) and the Seventy’s ἤγγικεν (‘has come near,’ 10:9-11) both require explicit both/and exposition: neither fully-arrived-with-no-future-consummation nor merely-imminent-but-not-yet-present readings are adequate. Luke 17:21’s ἐντὸς ὑμῶν (‘within/among you’) is a genuinely unresolved Greek ambiguity with major doctrinal stakes — an inward reading risks privatizing the kingdom away from Luke’s consistently concrete, social presence-theme, while a purely corporate reading risks losing personal appropriation. царство additionally carries the baseline’s already-documented loaded resonance with Russian imperial rule, requiring the distinction from any echo of earthly/imperial kingship to be made explicit throughout.

---

Jesus’ Compassion and Table Fellowship with Sinners

Ukrainian name: Милосердя Ісуса і трапезне спілкування з грішниками
Key terms: sinner, tax_collector, leper_cleanse, faith_has_saved_you, mercy
Review routing: Human theologian

Jesus’ deliberately provocative, boundary-crossing dining with грішники must not be domesticated into an uncontroversial statement of general kindness; it was genuinely scandalous to religious respectability. Care is needed that wartime moral discourse does not narrow ‘sinner’ to mean only an external enemy/aggressor rather than every person, reader included, per the baseline’s existing гріх caution. Милість must remain lexically distinct from благодать [TM: grace] throughout.

---

Messianic Anointing and Fulfillment of Prophecy

Ukrainian name: Месіанське помазання і сповнення пророцтва
Key terms: anointed, today_fulfillment, fulfilled, scripture, messiah_christ
Review routing: Human theologian

The core passage itself: the etymological link between помазав (anointed, 4:18) and Христос/Месія must be made explicit, since Христос functions as Jesus’ effective surname in everyday Ukrainian and its ‘Anointed One’ sense has otherwise worn smooth. σήμερον’s emphatic immediacy (‘today,’ 4:21) is the passage’s entire theological hinge and must not be softened. This doctrine directly grounds and is retroactively validated by 24:26-27, 44-46’s ‘it was necessary’ framing.

---

Grace and Mary’s Favored Status

Ukrainian name: Благодать і обраність Марії
Key terms: favored_one_grace, grace, servant_slave_mary
Review routing: Human theologian

Luke 1:28’s κεχαριτωμένη is a primary Marian devotional proof-text for two of Ukraine’s three living traditions (Orthodox and Greek Catholic), each holding a distinct developed Marian theology (uncreated-energies grace vs. created/infused grace historically bound to Marian doctrine including the Immaculate Conception). Must be taught as describing God’s gracious initiative toward Mary at this moment, never resolved silently toward or against either tradition’s fuller Marian framework, exactly as the baseline’s grace entry requires for Romans 4:4-5/11:5-6.

---

Love of Enemies

Ukrainian name: Любов до ворогів
Key terms: love_your_enemies
Review routing: Human theologian

For a readership actively living through a war of aggression by an identifiable enemy, this command is among the most acutely difficult teachings in the Gospel to apply pastorally right now. Must be taught with full doctrinal force while being handled with the same care the baseline requires for мир and свобода/воля; must not be presented as demanding premature reconciliation with an ongoing aggressor as a precondition of faithfulness. Mandatory human theologian review for every occurrence.

---

Captivity and Liberation

Ukrainian name: Полон і звільнення
Key terms: captives, release_forgiveness, redemption
Review routing: Human theologian

полонений (captives, 4:18) is, since February 2022, one of the most emotionally and politically live words in the Ukrainian language, denoting Ukrainian prisoners of war held by Russia. Doctrinally correct and pastorally powerful, but requires explicit theological framing at every occurrence so the text is never read as political commentary on the current war nor drained of force by treating it as merely spiritual language detached from readers’ actual prisoners. Mandatory human theologian review for every occurrence.

---

Justification by Faith within the Gospel Narrative

Ukrainian name: Виправдання вірою в євангельському наративі
Key terms: justified, god_be_merciful_sinner_prayer
Review routing: Human theologian

A striking pre-Pauline instance of justification-by-humble-faith-not-merit within Luke’s own Gospel, reinforcing the baseline’s Critical Romans/Galatians justification doctrine from outside the Pauline epistles; виправданий must reuse the baseline’s exact established rendering, never оправдання (Russian-cognate spelling) nor a mere ‘forgiven’ gloss that loses the declarative sense.

---

High Risk Doctrines

Prayer and Dependence on God

Ukrainian name: Молитва і залежність від Бога
Key terms: daily_bread, anxious_worry, good_portion
Review routing: Human theologian

Teaching against anxious worry (μεριμνάω) must never be presented as implying that wartime fear or grief over real, present danger is itself sinful or evidence of insufficient faith; the doctrine addresses corrosive, faithless anxiety about provision, not the legitimate weight of living through war. ‘Daily bread’ carries acute, literal present-tense weight for displaced and materially insecure readers, not only devotional metaphor.

---

The Cost and Joy of Discipleship

Ukrainian name: Ціна і радість учнівства
Key terms: joy, mammon, agony, love_your_enemies
Review routing: Human theologian

Luke’s distinctive addition ‘daily’ to the call to take up one’s cross (9:23) must not be dropped or softened, given current wartime discourse around costly, sometimes literal, sacrifice. Мамона must retain its rival-master personification, not flatten into generic money-talk, given intense current public discourse about wartime economic exploitation. Joy (χαρά) as heaven’s own response to repentance must be tracked consistently as a unifying theme-word across the whole book.

---

Jubilee and the Year of the Lord’s Favor

Ukrainian name: Ювілейний рік Господньої милості
Key terms: acceptable_year_of_the_lord
Review routing: Human theologian

Requires explicit Leviticus 25 Jubilee background exposition, the same structural gap the baseline already flags for Davidic/Abrahamic covenant background; without it, the phrase reads as vague poetic language rather than the concrete socio-economic institution it names. Must be kept lexically distinct from благодать [TM: grace, Critical] despite conceptual overlap.

---

Humility and Divine Reversal of Status

Ukrainian name: Смирення і Боже перевернення статусів
Key terms: humility_lowliness, blessed_woe
Review routing: Native speaker review

Both Orthodox and Greek Catholic spirituality have a rich ascetic tradition of смирення as a cultivated virtue; this doctrine must be taught as God’s gracious reversal of low status received by faith, not primarily as an ascetic achievement earning merit, paralleling the baseline’s caution against a performance-based reading of praveднist/righteousness.

---

The Authority of Christ

Ukrainian name: Влада Христа
Key terms: authority, lord
Review routing: Human theologian

Влада is an acutely live word in current Ukrainian civic discourse (state authority, church jurisdiction, wartime governance), the same live-authority sensitivity the baseline already flags for Romans 13:1-7. Christ’s unique, ultimate authority must be kept clearly distinct from any contemporary civic or ecclesial authority controversy.

---

Civic Authority and Render to Caesar

Ukrainian name: Громадянська влада і ‘віддайте кесареві’
Key terms: caesar, authority
Review routing: Human theologian

This text is regularly invoked in contemporary Ukrainian public discourse about civic duty, taxation, and loyalty during wartime. Must be taught as Jesus’ careful both/and principle (legitimate civic obligation and ultimate loyalty to God), not read as either a blank endorsement of state authority or its rejection, following the same caution the baseline applies to Romans 13:1-7.

---

Universal Scope of the Gospel: Jew, Gentile, and Samaritan

Ukrainian name: Всеохопність Євангелія: юдей, погани і самаряни
Key terms: light_to_nations, faith, neighbor
Review routing: Human theologian

Extends the baseline’s Critical/High Unity of Jews and Gentiles caution, given Ukraine’s history of antisemitic violence including Babyn Yar; ἐθνῶν/ἔθνη must render as народи, never погани, in these mission-scope and comparative-faith passages to avoid the term’s modern derogatory drift (‘bad/wicked people’). The Samaritan figures (10:25-37; 17:11-19) extend this same boundary-crossing theme to a second outsider category requiring brief historical background for readers.

Widows: Vulnerability, Compassion, and Honor

Ukrainian name: Вдови: вразливість, милосердя і честь
Key terms: widow, mercy
Review routing: Human theologian

Ukraine currently has an unusually large population of war widows; these scenes’ themes of loss, total vulnerability, compassion, and persistent faith carry acute, current emotional weight parallel to the baseline’s treatment of усиновлення for war orphans. Must be handled with pastoral warmth, not detached narration, across all four occurrences in Luke.

Wealth, Mammon, and the Cost of Discipleship

Ukrainian name: Багатство, мамона і ціна учнівства
Key terms: mammon, hades
Review routing: Native speaker review

мамона must retain its rival-master personification and not flatten into generic ‘money’ talk; grounded relevance given intense current public discourse about wartime economic exploitation, profiteering, and corruption. Care is needed that Zacchaeus’s reversal (19:1-10) is read as a positive model of repentance-with-restitution rather than a simple morality tale about generosity.

Faith and Healing as Signs of Salvation

Ukrainian name: Віра та зцілення як знаки спасіння
Key terms: faith_has_saved_you, leper_cleanse
Review routing: Human theologian

The recurring formula’s double sense (physical healing and spiritual salvation, one Greek verb σῴζω) must be preserved through explicit exposition, never resolved into only ‘healed’ (losing the salvation dimension) or only ‘saved’ (losing the concrete, bodily compassion dimension this curriculum equally emphasizes).

Institution of the New Covenant

Ukrainian name: Встановлення Нового Завіту
Key terms: new_covenant
Review routing: Human theologian

Новий Завіт is also the standard Ukrainian name for the New Testament as a canonical book collection, the same book-title-flattening risk the baseline documents for Євангеліє. Context must make clear Jesus is instituting a covenant-relationship at this meal itself, not merely referencing a future collection of books bearing this name.

The Resurrection of Christ

Ukrainian name: Воскресіння Христа
Key terms: resurrection
Review routing: Human theologian

The doctrinal capstone of the whole Gospel, ties directly back to the core passage’s messianic-fulfillment claim now fully vindicated. Central to Ukrainian religious and cultural identity via Великдень/Easter across all traditions; must not be flattened into calendar-festival familiarity alone but taught as a personally appropriated, historical truth.

---

Inspiration of Scripture

Ukrainian name: Богонатхненність Писання
Key terms: scripture
Review routing: Human theologian

Both Orthodox and Greek Catholic traditions hold Scripture as authoritative within Holy Tradition (Передання) rather than as a stand-alone final authority; this curriculum’s implicit sola scriptura framing should be stated plainly rather than assumed shared ground, per the identical baseline caution for Romans.

Medium Risk Doctrines

Divine Visitation in Salvation History

Ukrainian name: Боже відвідання в історії спасіння
Key terms: divine_visitation
Review routing: Native speaker review

Requires glossing on first occurrence so ‘visited’ carries the register of a sovereign’s decisive intervention, not a casual social visit; connects to this curriculum’s Holy Spirit’s Work in Salvation History doctrine as the pattern of God’s active initiative throughout Luke’s narrative.

---

John’s Baptism of Repentance

Ukrainian name: Іванове хрещення покаяння
Key terms: baptism, wrath, repentance
Review routing: Native speaker review

Both majority Ukrainian traditions practice infant sacramental baptism as the near-universal norm; John’s adult baptism-of-repentance must be explicitly distinguished so readers do not silently import the fuller sacramental theology of Christian baptism into this specific pre-Christian rite.

---

Transfiguration and the Glory of Christ

Ukrainian name: Преображення і слава Христа
Key terms: glory
Review routing: Native speaker review

The Transfiguration (Преображення) is a major feast in both the Orthodox and Greek Catholic liturgical calendars, giving strong positive cultural rooting; ensure the event is taught with its Lukan narrative function (confirming Jesus’ identity ahead of the passion, 9:31) rather than assumed to carry only its fuller liturgical-feast associations without that narrative anchoring.

Jesus’ Lament over Jerusalem

Ukrainian name: Плач Ісуса над Єрусалимом
Key terms: sign
Review routing: Native speaker review

Jesus’ grief over a city facing judgment and destruction may resonate with acute, unintended immediacy for Ukrainian readers whose own cities have suffered destruction in the current war; this resonance should be allowed to register pastorally without collapsing the specific historical-theological referent (first-century Jerusalem’s rejection of its Messiah) into a direct allegory for the present conflict.

---

Paradise and the Immediacy of Hope at the Cross

Ukrainian name: Рай і невідкладність надії при хресті
Key terms: paradise, today_fulfillment
Review routing: Native speaker review

This verse’s ‘today’ (сьогодні) explicitly echoes the core passage’s identical adverb at 4:21; teaching materials should note this connection explicitly, since both verses use the same word to make an immediacy claim central to this curriculum’s kingdom-present doctrine.

---

Witness and Testimony to the Resurrection

Ukrainian name: Свідчення про воскресіння
Key terms: witnesses, resurrection
Review routing: Native speaker review

Because μάρτυς is etymologically the root of ‘martyr’ (мученик), and Ukraine’s wartime context makes martyrdom-adjacent language especially live, keep this doctrine’s strictly testimonial sense (свідки, eyewitness-testifiers) clearly distinct from мученики (those who die for their faith), a distinction present only by later semantic development, not in Luke’s own usage.

---

Fulfillment of Prophecy

Ukrainian name: Сповнення пророцтва
Key terms: fulfilled, scripture, prophet
Review routing: Native speaker review

Consistency with the Romans baseline’s existing ‘сповнення пророцтва’ doctrine-name pattern matters for cross-curriculum coherence; Luke 24’s retrospective validation of the core passage’s Isaiah-fulfillment claim should be taught as part of a whole-Bible pattern, not an isolated proof-text.
