Catholic teaching receives the Creed of 381, which says the Spirit proceeds from the Father, and confesses in the Latin tradition that the Spirit proceeds eternally from Father and Son as from one principle and… - Processional Aisle
The aisle allows movement, including liturgical processions and the approach to Communion. The pattern depends on the building. - Prophetic hope after judgment
Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Isaiah pair judgment with images of renewed covenant, a new heart, and comfort for the displaced. These passages arose in distinct literary and historical settings. Christians reread them in… - Prophetic worship and justice
Israel's prophets criticize worship joined to oppression, corrupt judgment, or neglect of vulnerable people. Isaiah, Amos, and Micah speak in different historical settings and literary forms. Their shared moral… - Prophets
Narrative prophets and the named prophetic books call rulers and communities to covenant fidelity, justice, repentance, and hope. - Protestant confessions and denominational families
Lutheran, Reformed (including Presbyterian), Anglican, Anabaptist, and Baptist traditions develop distinct worship, teaching, and church order. Their confessions are historical witnesses to particular communities. - Proverbs

The Psalter preserves royal, communal, lament, and praise traditions; individual psalms and the final collection do not share a single date. - Quadratus addresses an apology to Hadrian
Eusebius preserves a short fragment of Quadratus's defense of Christianity addressed to Hadrian. It appeals to the continuing memory of people healed by Jesus. - Qualifications and transmission of teaching
The Pastoral Epistles connect appointment, tested character, guarding the deposit, and teaching faithful people who can teach others. Christians differ on how directly these letters establish later episcopal succession. - Quartodeciman Pascha controversy
Regional churches dispute the date for celebrating Pascha; the episode shows both diversity and attempts at conciliar resolution. - Queen of Sheba
Visiting ruler who tests Solomon's wisdom. - Quinisext / Council in Trullo

Solomon's son under whom the kingdom divides. - Relics and bishops gather for the Peace of God at Charroux

A synod in Constantinople restores icons after renewed iconoclasm; Orthodox churches commemorate this as the Triumph of Orthodoxy on the first Sunday of Lent. - Resurrection and a renewed creation
All the dead rise before final judgment. The redeemed live with Christ in glorified body and soul, and the universe is renewed (CCC 1038, 1042–1047). This hope concerns the whole person and creation. The Catechism… - Resurrection of Christ and the dead

Revelation depicts bowls of incense identified with the prayers of the holy ones and an angel offering incense with those prayers before God. This is visionary liturgy, not a narrated request to a departed saint. - Revelation, Personal Benefit, and Conflict of Interest
Critics observe that some Qur'anic revelations resolved Muhammad's household problems, granted distinctive marriage permissions, regulated access to his home, allocated a share or administrative control over spoils,… - Revolt against Rome breaks out in Judea
