Category:Biblical figures

This Biblical figures category should include anyone mentioned in the Old Testament, the Apocrypha, or the New Testament. We start with Adam despite the speculative nature of his existence and the widely differing estimates of when he lived.

The better-known figures, where their names are not shared with other Biblical figures, can have just the names as page title. Where names are shared, some distinction must be made, similar to the dates in parenthesis that we use for less ancient people. (The idea of calling Adam "Adam (?-?)" has a certain lack of appeal.)
