- Third Council of Constantinople
Against monothelitism and monoenergism, the council confessed two natural wills and two natural operations in the one Christ, corresponding to His divine and human natures. - Thirty pieces of silver and the rejected shepherd
Matthew relates the betrayal money and potter's field to prophetic Scripture. - Throne, Descent, Nearness, and Divine Action
Qur'an 20:5 says the Merciful established Himself over the Throne; Qur'an 57:4 says He is with people wherever they are; Qur'an 50:16 speaks of nearness; and Sahih al-Bukhari 1145 reports a nightly descent to the… - Tikhon reorganizes the Voronezh school as a seminary
Tikhon of Zadonsk transforms the local Slavic-Latin school into a seminary and develops a program of clergy education. - Timothy
Timothy joins Paul from Lystra, travels as a trusted coworker, is sent to strengthen churches, and is addressed in two canonical letters. - Timothy I describes a theological conversation with al-Mahdi
Timothy I, patriarch of the Church of the East, recounts a discussion with the Abbasid caliph about Christian belief. Scripture, Christ's identity, and the Trinity become subjects of sustained argument. - Titus
Titus is a Gentile Christian coworker who accompanies Paul, carries out difficult missions involving Corinth, and is instructed concerning church order in Crete. - Titus
Titus is addressed about appointing elders, teaching households, and doing good works in Crete. The letter presents itself as Pauline; its authorship and setting are debated. Its instructions speak to an imagined or… - Tobias
Tobit's son on a journey accompanied by Raphael. - Tobit
Tobit combines diaspora family piety, suffering, a journey, marriage, healing, and angelic guidance. Prayer, burial of the dead, generosity, and fidelity shape a story in which the protagonists know less than the… - Tobit
Righteous exile in a book received differently across Christian canons. - Tobit 12: Raphael presents prayer before God
Raphael says he presented Tobit and Sarah’s prayer before God. Tobit is Scripture in Catholic and Orthodox canons, not Protestant Old Testament canons. This is an angel, not a departed human saint. - Tola
Judge named after Abimelech's rule. - Tomos for the Orthodox Church of Ukraine
The Ecumenical Patriarchate signed and presented a tomos of autocephaly to the Orthodox Church of Ukraine; recognition and jurisdiction remain disputed among Orthodox churches. - Torah Ark
The aron kodesh stores the Torah scrolls at the prayer-facing wall. This scroll cabinet is distinct from the biblical Ark of the Covenant. - Torah Scroll
The scroll contains the Five Books of Moses. The assembly listens to its reading; Nehemiah 8:8 emphasizes understanding what is read. - Transmitters, Hadith Method, and Miscellany
Narrators, chains, concealment, translation, isolated reports, and entries that cross several issue families. - Trinity
Christian teaching confesses one God in three distinct Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. - Tritheism
Orthodox teaching distinguishes the three hypostases without dividing the one divine essence or turning communion into three gods. - Trullo: from lamb to Christ in human form
The canon favors Christ's human depiction over the symbolic lamb to recall his saving life. - Twentieth-century persecution and martyrs
Revolutionary and communist regimes bring severe persecution to many Orthodox communities; the history differs by country and decade. - Ugandan Orthodox communities are received by Alexandria
The Patriarchate of Alexandria receives the Ugandan Orthodox community after years of African-led inquiry and correspondence. - Unbegotten
Unbegotten identifies the Father in relation to the Son; it does not mean that the Father alone possesses divinity. - Union of Brest
Some bishops enter communion with Rome while retaining Eastern rites, creating an enduring and often painful regional division. - Uzziah
King of Judah in Isaiah's era. - Valamo's brotherhood evacuates and resettles in Finland
War forces the Valamo brotherhood to leave its island monastery; monks and rescued collections find a new home in inland Finland. - Vestry & Preparation Room
A side room may hold books, robes, Communion vessels, and other service materials. Some congregations use another preparation or storage area. - Vestry (Diakonikon)
The vestry, or diakonikon, stores sacred vessels, books, and vestments. In the arrangement described by this source it is on the south side, to the right as you face the Holy Table; a separate room is not universal. - Vincent reflects on continuity and doctrinal growth
Vincent offers criteria for distinguishing inherited Christian teaching from novelty. He also argues that understanding may grow while retaining its identity. - Violence, Ethics, and Social Order
Killing, coercion, slavery, warfare, punishment, race, gender, wealth, and public moral questions. - Votive Candles

Reformed primary statement of Scripture's authority, Christ's two natures in one person, and limits on worship by visible representation. - What about Epiphanius tearing a church curtain?
The passage must be confronted as contrary evidence, not dismissed through a slogan about all fathers agreeing. - What about images of the Father and the Trinity?
A portrait claim and a scriptural symbolic manifestation are different. The Son alone became incarnate. - What apostolic succession can mean
The historical claim combines continuity of apostolic teaching, local pastoral office, public appointment, sacramental ministry, and communion among churches. Sources for these dimensions are not all the same kind or… - What authority does Enoch have?
If 1 Enoch is outside my community’s biblical canon, why should its heavenly-advocacy scenes authorize Christian prayer? A useful historical comparison is not automatically a rule of worship. - What is Catholicism?
Catholics confess Jesus Christ as the center of the Church's life. They understand the Church as a visible communion of local churches united in faith, sacraments, and pastoral care with the bishop of Rome. Catholic… - What Is Orthodoxy?
Orthodoxy is not merely an ethnic culture, a collection of ancient opinions, or a private spirituality. It understands itself as the one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church living in continuity with the apostolic… - What is Protestantism?
