Christianity and Nazarene: Linguistic Implications and Historical Terminology

Abstract

This study gives an account of the history and impacts which are utilised in the knowledge of religions termed to be Christianity and their use in general. Thus, the study has shown that paying special attention to linguistic and cultural issues of the language that is used in connection to religion is important. Instead of other names, Christians, Islamic Traditions and the use of Quranic terms in a comparative perspective are interpreted as a place/rhetoric. This is done with the view of unraveling other layers of language usage. In the investigation of the semantic etymology of the term “Christ” in language, and in the investigation of Christian scriptures and literature, and interpreters’ view, it is suggested and elaborated that the term “Christ” is a pious euphemism connected with other forms of magic or sorcery; Moshi which is the Arabic adoption of the Hebrew appellation, Mushiha. It might be hoped that Hannerz’s linguistic ‘voyage’ overloads religious profile with the way it intertwines with linguistic practice.
