The Cenacle (from Latin "dining room", later spelt coenaculum and semantically drifting towards "upper room"), also known as the "Upper Room", is a room in Jerusalem traditionally held to be the site of the Last Supper.

The word is a derivative of the Latin word cēnō, which means "I dine".

The Gospel of Mark employs the, anagaion, whereas the Acts of the Apostles uses, hyperōion, both with the meaning "upper room".

The English word "orthodoxy" derives from doxa.

Jonathan Leicester suggests that belief has the purpose of guiding action rather than indicating truth.

In monotheism, God is conceived of as the Supreme Being and principal object of faith.

The concept of God as described by most theologians includes the attributes of omniscience (infinite knowledge), omnipotence (unlimited power), omnipresence (present everywhere), divine simplicity, and as having an eternal and necessary existence.

Many theologians also describe God as being omnibenevolent (perfectly good) and all loving.
