Talk:Cenacle

I added the ref improve flag to the top of the article because of the lack of references in all but one section. Jason3777 (talk) 01:35, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

I'have add three refs and now all section are covered with refs. Note: in the history section all is taken from the Article of Biblical Archaeology Review ((Bargil Pixner)) referred to in note 8. A ntv (talk) 09:24, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

I will bring some sources on the name here:

• Clausen, David Christian (25 April 2016). The Upper Room and Tomb of David: The History, Art and Archaeology of the Cenacle on Mount Zion. McFarland. p. 23. ISBN 978-1-4766-2443-3. ...there is no historically consistent single term by which to describe the entire structure...

I don't see any clear answer in the sources I hav to hand. Zero^talk 01:18, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

I suspect, though I do not know, all Cenacle, or popularly known Upper Room, incidents occurring in Jerusalem are not historical but are instead fictional theological constructions established by the emerging Christian community. I base this on the absence of stories establishing the ownership of this (two level?) residence and the necessary meal preparations in the New Testament. Also Jesus' prediction of Judas' betrayal (Matthew 26:23-25) and as earlier stated the prediction, made by Jesus during the Last Supper that Peter would deny and disown him, appearing in the Gospel of Matthew 26:33–35, the Gospel of Mark 14:29–31, the Gospel of Luke 22:33–34 and the Gospel of John. 13:36–38 both are most likely Vaticinium ex eventu. The Incredulity of Thomas episode related in (John 20:24-29) though not in the other three synoptic Gospels (Thomas WIMPS OUT and NEVER does physically examine Jesus' wounds fulfilling his vow) and the Pentecost miracles, the rushing wind (the breath of Yahweh ), the cloven tongues of fire, and the ability to speak in other languages (Acts 2:1-12) are also most unlikely historical incidents. Instead they are fictional theological constructions established by the emerging Christian community. The addition of predictions, miracles, magic add wonder and mystery to stories and make them more memorable. Some say science fiction is the mythology of today. As a fan of fantasy and fiction I propose these too should be added to the mythology, Christology, of today. Miistermagico (talk) 23:57, 13 June 2019 (UTC)

Please do not use Wikipedia talk pages to discuss your own theories. The only content acceptable here is discussion of article improvement based on reliable published sources. Zero^talk 07:52, 14 June 2019 (UTC)

"David's Tomb" and "Cenacle" ("upper room" of the Last Supper) belong together, as they are both closely intertwined Christian traditions housed in the same building, one above the other, and the articles are dealing with the building, its history and the associated traditions. Separating them is non-academic and creates a big headache, leading to unnecessary repetitions and the propagation of superficial popular narratives. Please contribute to the discussion on the "David's Tomb" talk-page, here. Thank you, Arminden (talk) 01:38, 5 June 2022 (UTC)
