| | Questions of theology and belief aside, Christianity and biblical culture are a part of the mother tongue of Tigrinya. | | | The Tigrinya terms deflect the more sublime sense of an individual who creates and even speaks for the gods or God. | | | Unlike in most of Africa, Christianity and biblical culture were not imported and imposed by colonialism in the relatively recent history of the region and of Eritrea. |
