To begin with, the Holy Bible in chiShona language is called Bhaibheri, and a person who wholeheartedly accepts Jesus Christ (the Son of Man) as his survivor, that is to say, a Christian regardless of denomination (or any particular church they go to) is called muKristu.
Note: chiKristu should not be confused with chiJudha given that the latter refers to a monotheistic religion and the cultural practices of Judaism.
In addition, the Old Testament in chiShona is known as Testamende Yekare, whilst the New Testament is called Testamende Itsva, respectively.
