Definition
Non-Jewish people, or in some religious contexts, non-Christian or non-Muslim people.
Etymology
From Latin 'gentilis' (of the same clan or nation). In Hebrew and Christian contexts, it means those outside the Jewish faith; the term has been used religiously for over 2,000 years.
Kelly Says
The word 'gentile' shows how every religion sees itself as the center point and names everyone else relative to their own identity—it's a fascinating example of how language reveals theological thinking!
