- The empty tomb and the risen Jesus
The tomb is found empty; the risen Jesus appears, and the apostolic proclamation reads his resurrection through Scripture. - The enduring Creator and the Son
Hebrews applies the psalm's praise of God's enduring creative power to the Son. - The enduring Davidic promises and resurrection
Paul cites Isaiah's enduring Davidic promises in his proclamation that God raised Jesus without abandonment to decay. - The enduring house of David
The annunciation describes Jesus as heir to David's throne and an enduring kingdom. - The Epistle to Diognetus portrays Christians in ordinary cities
An anonymous Christian writer describes believers sharing their neighbors' cities, languages, clothing, and food while living according to a distinct religious commitment. The account explores belonging to society… - The Filioque: the Holy Spirit's procession
Catholic teaching says the Spirit proceeds eternally from Father and Son as from one principle and through one spiration, not from two independent sources. The Latin liturgical tradition retains the Filioque. - The first Adam and the life-giving last Adam
Paul explicitly contrasts the first man's received life with the last Adam's life-giving role in his argument for resurrection. - The First and the Last who died and lives
The risen Jesus uses the First and the Last title found in Isaiah’s speech of Yahweh; his death and renewed life identify the speaker. - The Four Evangelists

Three faithful men survive the fire in the company of an extraordinary fourth figure. - The Franciscan Rule defines poverty, work, and care

Stephen describes a divine appearance behind Abraham's first call, before his residence in Haran. - The God of the living and Jesus' resurrection argument
Jesus quotes God's self-identification to Moses as the God of the patriarchs when defending resurrection before his own death. - The goodness of creation
Genesis calls what God made good. The world has its own created reality and remains dependent on the Creator. - The Great Lavra reshapes monastic life on Athos
Athanasius establishes the Great Lavra on Mount Athos. The growth of a large communal monastery adds a new institutional form to an existing landscape of ascetic settlement. - The Heavenly Assembly — Intercession of the Saints
Can Christians ask departed saints to pray for them? Follow five questions: distinguish praise from petition, read a vision of departed prayer, compare heavenly advocacy, inspect an early Christian request, and bring… - The heavenly Word in the night
Wisdom poetically depicts God's powerful word descending in the judgment on Egypt. - The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is fully divine and is worshiped with the Father and the Son. Catholic teaching receives the Creed of 381, which says the Spirit proceeds from the Father, and the Latin Filioque, which confesses… - The Holy Spirit spoke through Isaiah
The quotation is certain. The source presents the Lord’s commission; Acts names the Holy Spirit as the speaker who worked through Isaiah. - The Holy Spirit, gifts, and mission
Acts 2 portrays the Spirit enabling public witness across languages. Paul describes diverse gifts ordered toward the common good, while Romans 8 relates the Spirit to prayer, belonging, and hope. These passages serve… - The horseman among the myrtles
A mounted figure and the angel of the LORD stand within a vision of divine concern for Jerusalem. - The human figure receives an enduring kingdom
Jesus joins Daniel's cloud-borne human figure with the right-hand saying when describing his authority. - The human likeness above the throne
Above the living creatures Ezekiel sees a human-like figure within overwhelming glory. - The incarnation across New Testament witnesses
John 1 speaks of the Word becoming flesh; Philippians 2 is a hymn-like passage about Christ's self-emptying and exaltation; Hebrews 2 argues that he shared human life and suffering. The later language of one person… - The Injil and the Canonical Gospels
A common Muslim reply says the Injil was a single revelation given to Jesus, not the four canonical Gospel books written about Jesus. The Christian response observes that the Qur'an addresses a community called the… - The Islamic Dilemma
The standard Christian argument places two propositions in tension: the Qur'an positively confirms earlier revelation and addresses Jews and Christians as possessing Scripture, while central Qur'anic claims conflict… - The Jerusalem church's flight to Pella: later tradition
Eusebius says that Jerusalem's believers were instructed by a revelation to move to Pella before the war. This is an influential tradition about the community's survival, preserved in a much later source. - The Judean famine under Claudius
Josephus reports a severe famine in Judea during Claudius's reign. Eusebius places it beside Acts's account of Agabus and the Antioch relief mission. - The Judge of all the earth and the Son’s voice
Genesis names Yahweh the universal judge. John assigns all judgment to the Son and says all the dead will hear his voice. - The king comes humbly on a donkey
Jesus' entry is interpreted through Zechariah's rejoicing over a humble king. - The last supper and the new covenant
Jesus shares the meal, speaks of the new covenant in his blood, and announces betrayal within the table fellowship. - The lifted serpent and the lifted Son of Man
Jesus explicitly compares the serpent raised by Moses with the Son of Man being lifted up so believers may have life. - The linen-clothed scribe and the saving mark
A linen-clothed figure marks mourners for preservation and receives commands amid the departure of divine glory. - The LORD appears to Isaac
The patriarchal promise is renewed through two appearances to Isaac. - The Lord at God's right hand
Jesus and the apostles apply the royal right-hand saying to his authority and exaltation. - The Lord beside the altar
Amos sees the Lord standing beside the altar in a vision of inescapable judgment. - The LORD in the garden
A divine presence seeks the hiding human pair after their disobedience. - The Lord is the Spirit: whose Lordship?
The phrase is explicit, yet Lord can be read through the Exodus background, through Paul’s identification of Christ as Lord, or through both within his new-covenant argument. - The LORD stands and calls Samuel
Repeated divine calls culminate in the LORD's presence and Samuel's prophetic vocation. - The Lord who founded the earth
Hebrews reproduces Psalm 102’s address to the enduring creator inside its argument about the Son’s superiority to angels.
