- Ezekiel among the exiles
Ezekiel's visions announce judgment, God's presence beyond the Temple, and a future renewed people. - Ezra

Scribe and priest associated with Torah teaching. - Ezra and public reading of the Law
Ezra is associated with renewed Torah teaching and the identity of the restored community. - Fabian's unexpected election at Rome
Eusebius recounts how Fabian, initially an unexpected candidate, became bishop of Rome. The community interprets a dove settling on him as a sign favoring his selection. - Face, Hand, Eye, Shin, and Foot in the Sources
The source language is real and should not be hidden: the Qur'an speaks of God's face, hands, and eye or watch; Qur'an 68:42 uses a 'shin laid bare' expression; hadith reports speak of God's shin and foot and say… - Fall, Cain, and the spread of sin
Genesis narrates humanity's disobedience, violence, and exile from Eden, setting the backdrop for the promise of restoration. - Famine and epidemic prompt public Christian relief
Eusebius describes hunger, epidemic, and widespread distress in the eastern provinces. He reports Christians distributing food and undertaking burial while many people lacked help. - Filioque enters a regional Latin creed

Imperial opposition to icons intensifies, provoking theological defense of the Incarnation and images. - First Lambeth Conference
Anglican bishops from several countries meet for consultation, an early expression of the developing global Anglican Communion. The conference does not govern every Anglican province. - First major Babylonian deportation
Babylon removes Judah's king and elites; Ezekiel's ministry begins among the exiles. - First Temple in Jerusalem
The Temple becomes the central sanctuary in the biblical account of Israel's worship. - Flesh and blood, suffering and temptation
Hebrews makes Jesus’ solidarity with human beings essential to redemption: he shares flesh and blood, tastes death, and suffers temptation. - Flight to Egypt and Bethlehem's mourning

Francis and his companions embrace a life of poverty and preaching; the movement becomes one of the major mendicant orders of the medieval Church. - From creation’s waters to birth by the Spirit
Both passages connect the Spirit with the emergence of life, but John does not explicitly cite Genesis 1. Ezekiel’s water-and-Spirit promise is also an important background. - Gad (son of Jacob)
Jacob's son through Zilpah; his name and Jacob's blessing use wordplay about raiders and counterattack. - Gad the prophet

Babylon appoints Gedaliah over the population remaining in Judah. His assassination undermines the new administration and prompts a flight toward Egypt. - Genesis
Genesis moves from creation and humanity's fracture to God's promises to Abraham's family. Blessing, land, offspring, rivalry, and reconciliation connect its ancestral narratives; Joseph's story ends in Egypt rather… - Geneva
Geneva became a major Reformed center through preaching, education, printing, migration, and the work of Calvin and other reformers. The academy founded in 1559 gives a concrete institutional anchor for the city's… - Gentiles received into the Church
