Definition
A Latin term meaning 'of nations or peoples,' used in historical and religious contexts to refer to non-Jewish peoples or pagan nations.
Etymology
From Latin gentium, the plural genitive form of gens (clan, family, nation, or people). The term is fundamental to classical and biblical studies, where it distinguishes Jewish from non-Jewish populations.
Kelly Says
In the early Christian church, 'gentium' was linguistically crucial because it meant everything depended on how you defined 'us versus them.' The tension over whether Christianity was just for Jews or for the gentium shaped the entire development of the religion.
