- Joel
Prophetic book on the day of the Lord and outpouring of the Spirit. - Joel: repentance and the day of the Lord
Joel calls for communal repentance and promises the outpouring of God's Spirit; the book is difficult to date. - John
John presents Jesus through a prologue, signs, dialogues, a farewell discourse, passion, and resurrection appearances. Its language of life, light, belief, and abiding should be read in the flow of each scene. The… - John 13 — before the feast, during supper
John 13:1 permits an introductory reading concerning Jesus’ knowledge and love before the feast, while 13:2 enters the supper. Narrative parallels support identifying John’s supper with the Synoptic Last Supper. They… - John 18:28 — eat the Passover
Broader festival language allows continued participation in Passover meals or offerings. Many Torah impurities ended at evening, making a daylight concern possible. Neither the exact meal nor the precise impurity is… - John Chrysostom
Preacher and later bishop of Constantinople whose homilies attend closely to Scripture, pastoral care, poverty, and the responsibilities of clergy. - John Chrysostom and preaching
Chrysostom's preaching and episcopal ministry leave a major legacy in biblical interpretation and liturgical tradition. - John Chrysostom is removed and exiled
Conflict around John Chrysostom's leadership ends in imperial removal and exile. Socrates describes a divided city and unrest surrounding the bishop's departure. - John Henry Newman
English Oratorian, theologian, and cardinal whose works examine conscience, doctrinal development, faith and reason, education, and the life of the Church. - John of Damascus
Monk, theologian, and hymnographer who defended the veneration of icons amid iconoclasm and composed a systematic exposition of Orthodox doctrine. - John of Damascus defends icons
John argues that depiction of Christ is possible because the invisible Word truly became visible in the Incarnation. - John of Damascus, Exposition of the Orthodox Faith II.3–4
John says angels serve nations and regions and bring aid; II.3 also stresses they are created and limited. II.4 says God reveals the future to angels. This is a boundary on angelic knowledge, not a claim transferred… - John of the Cross
Discalced Carmelite reformer, poet, and mystical theologian who described purification and transforming union with God through faith, hope, and love. - John of Ávila
Spanish diocesan priest, preacher, spiritual director, and reformer whose teaching centers on Scripture, Christ's redemption, prayer, and priestly formation. - John prepares the way in Elijah's role
Jesus identifies John with the expected Elijah, while Luke describes John's work in Elijah's spirit and power. - John prepares the way; Jesus is baptized
John calls Israel to repentance; Jesus is baptized and receives the heavenly declaration of sonship. - John the Baptist's death in two narratives
Mark and Josephus both associate John's death with Herod Antipas, but explain the circumstances differently. Josephus names Machaerus and emphasizes the ruler's fear of John's influence over the crowds. - Jonah
Jonah narrates a reluctant prophet whose flight, prayer, preaching, and anger expose resistance to mercy. The story's final question concerns Nineveh and the prophet's compassion, not only the remarkable fish. - Jonah
Prophet in the narrative of Nineveh and divine mercy. - Jonah and Nineveh
The narrative challenges narrow expectations of mercy through Jonah's mission to Nineveh. - Jonah as a sign of burial and rising
Jesus compares Jonah's time in the fish with the Son of Man's time in the heart of the earth. - Jonathan
Saul's son and David's loyal friend. - Jonathan Maccabeus
Brother of Judas and later leader and high priest. - Joram of Israel
Northern king of Ahab's dynasty killed by Jehu. - Joseph
Jacob's son whose story brings his family to Egypt. - Joseph and Israel in Egypt
Joseph's story brings the family of Israel to Egypt and prepares the narrative setting for Exodus. - Josephus completes the Jewish Antiquities
Josephus completes a twenty-book account of Jewish history. Its later books preserve the accounts of John the Baptist, Agrippa's death, Helena's relief, and James that Eusebius will draw upon. - Josephus writes the Jewish War
Josephus produces the history that will become a central source for the revolt, the siege, and Jerusalem's destruction. Eusebius later quotes it extensively in Church History III. - Joshua
Joshua narrates entry into Canaan, conflict, land distribution, and covenant renewal. Rahab's household, Achan's offense, and the final call to serve God complicate a reading concerned only with military success. - Joshua
Moses' successor who leads Israel into the land. - Joshua and settlement traditions
Joshua narrates Israel's entry into the land and covenant renewal; the archaeological and historical picture of settlement is complex. - Joshua before the angel of the LORD
An accused high priest receives clean garments and a promise of restoration. - Joshua the high priest
High priest alongside Zerubbabel during restoration. - Josiah
King who undertakes reform after a book of the Law is found. - Josiah dies at Megiddo; Egypt imposes a new king
Second Kings recounts Josiah's death during Neco's advance, followed by Jehoahaz's brief reign. Neco removes him, appoints Jehoiakim, and demands tribute. - Josiah's reform and book of the Law
A discovered book of the Law prompts covenant renewal and reforms in Judah. - Jotapata falls and Josephus enters Roman custody
After the Roman capture of Jotapata, Josephus survives and enters Roman custody. His account of this turning point helps readers understand the position of the historian whom Eusebius later quotes. - Jotham
King of Judah and son of Uzziah. - Jubilees 2:2: angels and aspects of creation
Jubilees describes angels associated with winds, clouds, weather, and seasons in its creation account. This is the cosmology of this literary witness. It can inform an interpretation of heavenly worship but cannot… - Judah
Jacob's son whose line is associated with kingship.
