[edit] Derivation
The article currently suggests that few cultures outside of Western Christianity had any any concept of, or even word for, temptation. However, the single example given seems insufficient to prove such a broad statement: "Many non-Western cultures had no precise equivalent until coming into contact with Europeans; for example, Jesuit missionaries in Brazil, translating the Lord's Prayer into Old Tupi, had to use the Portuguese word tentação, since Tupi had no word expressing "temptation" in that sense (see Old Tupi language#Sample text)." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.229.193.152 (talk) 07:27, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
