Landmark coverage and source audit

This revision adds 36 factual entries after a coverage review of all 21 centuries. It adds 23 separate teaching exercises. The entries cover Bible translation, familiar witnesses, printing, missions, public preaching, and devotional literature. Each new factual entry links one primary work and two other supporting works. The table records the passages actually inspected. Teaching exercises use linked Lutheran confessions. They do not establish an author’s complete theology from a single reading.

The original survey’s 216-entry count records that survey’s provenance. It is not a count of the expanded course. The prior World audit records 52 retained landmarks. Two printing entries bring the current World selection to 54. The shared 12 course objectives remain unchanged. Historical coverage ends on October 5, 2026.

Coverage review of every century

Unit	Existing coverage	Added entries	Selection decision and limits
Unit 1	Peter, Paul, James; Pentecost and sacramental life; Jerusalem assembly; apostolic preaching and first-century world landmarks	Retain existing coverage	No high-value omission established in the first-century unit. Additional New Testament biographies: Current apostolic foundation is sufficient for this coverage pass. Extra biographies duplicate scriptural groundwork.
Unit 2	Ignatius; Justin; Irenaeus; Didache; Pliny and Trajan; Marcion and Gnostic disputes	E01	Exact Polycarp martyrdom year: Chronology remains disputed. Retain the second-century placement rather than choosing a single date.
Unit 3	Tertullian; Origen and Hexapla; Cyprian; Decian persecution; Baptism and restoration controversies	E02	Empire-wide Severan ban as cause of Perpetua’s death: The causal reconstruction rests on disputed evidence. The addition does not require it.
Unit 4	Nicaea; Constantinople; Athanasius; Cyril of Jerusalem; Basil; Gregory Nazianzen; Ambrose	E03, E04, E05	Nicaea chose the Bible: Not supported by the evidence. Athanasius’s letter is an episcopal list, not a Nicene Bible decree. Anthony as the first monk: The primary Life itself describes earlier ascetics. The 1911 Britannica claim is not adopted. Every NT Latin book translated by Jerome: The proposed Gospel claim does not establish Jerome’s responsibility for every other book.
Unit 5	Augustine; Cyril Alexandria; Leo; Ephesus; Chalcedon; grace and Baptism controversies	E06, E07	Patrick’s shamrock, snakes, exact mission year and birthplace: Later legends and uncertain chronology do not belong in an unqualified biography.
Unit 6	Benedict and Rule; Gregory Pastoral Rule; Augustine of Canterbury597; ConstantinopleII	E08	A separate duplicate entry for Gregory’s Canterbury mission: Already present. Columba adds an Irish-to-Scottish missionary route.
Unit 7	Hild and Whitby; Maximus; MartinI; Lateran649; ConstantinopleIII; Trullo; Islam/world landmarks	E09	Caedmon’s dream as independently established event: Keep the miracle story as Bede’s reported narrative, not an independently proven occurrence.
Unit 8	Boniface; John of Damascus; Bede; Nicaea II; Frankfurt; Chinese Christian inscription; Iberian conquest; Viking raid	Retain existing coverage	Retain. Alcuin and Carolingian schools remain a candidate without an audited addition in this pass.
Unit 9	Cyril and Methodius; Slavonic translation; Alfred; Photius; Eucharistic controversies	MED-L01	Add Asian printing to the existing vernacular Scripture and worship coverage. Do not invent a precise Book of Kells production year.
Unit 10	Cluny; Odo; Vladimir; Liutprand; Athelstan; Leif Erikson	Retain existing coverage	Retain mission, reform and recognizable North Atlantic landmarks. No new audited Gerbert claim.
Unit 11	Anselm; Gregory VII; Urban II; Clermont; Hastings; Domesday Book	Retain existing coverage	Retain. Later Paris statutes supply a precise university landmark without inventing a foundation day.
Unit 12	Bernard; Abelard; Worms; Lateran I–III; Saladin	MED-L02	Add Valdes and early Waldensians. Exclude apostolic succession legends and anachronistic Lutheran identity.
Unit 13	Francis of Assisi; Thomas Aquinas; Lateran IV; Lyons councils; Genghis Khan; Magna Carta	MED-L03	Add Christian higher education through actual Paris statutes. Do not call 1215 the foundation year.
Unit 14	Wyclif; Palamas; Vienne; Western Schism; Black Death	MED-L04, MED-L05	Add Dante and Wycliffite Bible translation. Do not assign the complete translation securely to Wyclif personally.
Unit 15	Hus; Joan of Arc; Constance; Florence; Gutenberg Bible; Constantinople; Columbus	MED-L06, MED-L07	Add Thomas à Kempis and an explicit explanation of movable-type printing. Exclude global-first and single-cause Reformation claims.
Unit 16	Luther as reformer and catechist; Melanchthon and Chemnitz; Zwingli and Calvin; Marburg and Trent	C16-Erasmus, C16-Tyndale, C16-LutherNT, C16-LutherBible, C16-Coverdale	The missing translation sequence is a substantive gap in understanding access to Scripture and the language of Christ's promises. These additions complement existing reformer biographies without repeating them. Additional Luther biography or repeat council entries: Existing coverage already contains these topics; add translation milestones instead. Later English Bible editions beyond Coverdale and the KJV: Useful follow-up, but not needed to repair the identified foundational translation sequence in this packet.
Unit 17	Johann Gerhard and Paul Gerhardt; Spener and Francke; Devotion, orthodoxy and Lutheran church life	C17-KJV, C17-Bunyan, C17-EliotBible, C17-EliotAgency	The additions introduce recognizable English Bible and literary landmarks, plus a North American mission and printing example that makes Indigenous contribution visible. Repeated Pietist biographies: Spener and Francke already receive substantive coverage. A numerical claim about all KJV translators: Different counts distinguish appointment, participation and completion; the verified wording uses teams of scholars.
Unit 18	Wesley and Aldersgate; Muhlenberg and the Pennsylvania Ministerium; Bach and baptismal hymnody	C18-Whitefield, C18-Edwards, C18-Carey	Whitefield and Edwards supply the missing familiar awakening figures; Carey adds a mission text for examining proclamation and Baptism. The three sources allow comparison without treating every revival movement as one doctrine. Repeated Wesley, Muhlenberg or Bach entries: They already appear in the century's people and theological readings. Sweeping claims about a single Great Awakening doctrine: These selected texts and speakers do not establish a uniform theology for all participants.
Unit 19	Walther and Löhe; Missouri and Wisconsin institution histories; Prussian Union and Vatican I; Walther's argument about slavery	C19-Spurgeon, C19-Moody	The current concentration on Lutheran institutions needs familiar evangelical counterparts. Spurgeon's actual sermon provides a direct sacramental comparison; Moody and Sankey provide a recognizable revival landmark. Charles Finney or additional revival biographies: Potentially valuable further study; no retained Finney claim has been verified in this packet. Broad generalization from Spurgeon to every Baptist: A single speaker and sermon cannot establish the theology of every Baptist.
Unit 20	Harstad; Barmen; Seminex; Vatican II; Leuenberg and the Joint Declaration on Justification	C20-Azusa, C20-Bonhoeffer, C20-King, C20-Graham, C20-GrahamMessage	These additions repair conspicuous omissions in Pentecostal, evangelical and public Christian history. Graham receives both a public-ministry landmark and actual teaching, rather than a token mention. North American people and movements receive substantial attention. Martin Niemöller and First They Came: A separate dated text history is needed before attaching a circulating version to him. Barmen and the new Bonhoeffer reading already support a focused church-and-state comparison. John Paul II, Mother Teresa and Desmond Tutu: Recognizable global candidates remain for a later verified expansion; this packet makes no biographical assertions about them and does not claim exhaustive coverage. Bonhoeffer's execution chronology: The retained addition concerns his inspected theological work. No execution-date claim is inserted without an inspected primary record.
Unit 21	Harrison; Lutheran fellowship and institutional comparison; COVID-19 in the World strand	C21-Leo	A recent papal transition supplies a familiar global figure and an actual Christ-centered public address for testing claims about church authority. The historical cutoff excludes later developments. Francis, digital worship and further global church developments: These remain candidates for further verified coverage. No separate claim or claim about every church's pandemic worship practice is added from incomplete evidence. Repeating Harrison or rewriting World landmarks: Existing coverage is preserved.

Source roles and limits

An original text and modern commentary on the same page are separate works. Two hosts of one text do not supply two independent checks. Primary excerpts prove only their inspected content. Modern histories supply publication dates when the excerpt lacks an original title page. The review uses scholars, archives, libraries, museums, primary records, and historical references. It does not use Catholic Encyclopedia for new World claims.

Early

All nine historical additions use inspected passages from one primary work and two distinct check works.
Primary works at New Advent are original-text translations, not Catholic Encyclopedia articles. No new world fact uses Catholic Encyclopedia.
Current Britannica pages blocked retrieval. Historical1911 Britannica articles are used only for narrowly supported claims, with false first-monk language excluded.
Gold’s publisher synopsis and Brakke’s extract were inspected. Do not imply inspection of their complete books or articles.
The Vulgate includes material not translated or revised by Jerome. The additions do not credit him with every biblical book.
Bede is a retrospective eighth-century witness for Columba and Caedmon. Miracle narratives are not independent corroboration.
Bede’s text places Columba’s arrival in 565, while Glasgow and Picard give563. The addition states sixth century only.
Patrick’s writings lack absolute dates. His fifth-century placement comes from the check works, and exact years remain uncertain.
The Royally hosted Confessio sometimes returned403 to scripted fetches after successful retrieval. The web reader exposed the inspected passages.
Bieler’s large PDF failed text extraction and is not a verification source. A raw PDF was accidentally indexed, but no claims rely on it.
Teaching prompts are normative exercises, separate from historical claims. Parent must attach the existing inspected confessional source links when inserting them.

Medieval

Modern

All 20 retained assertions have inspected primary content or identified excerpts and two distinct corroborating historical works. The two KJV verifiers are separate institutional histories; the Edwards sermon and Jonathan J. Edwards's textual-authentication essay are different underlying works despite sharing a website. Reused Cambridge exhibition material is never counted twice for one assertion.
Primary transcriptions and identified excerpts establish the work, language or event; they do not automatically establish an original printing date. Tyndale, Luther's Romans preface, Coverdale, Bunyan, Carey and Bonhoeffer therefore rely on two historical works for edition chronology. The Tyndale handout identifies its excerpt with 1526, but the exact original printing or recension of every reproduced spelling has not been independently established. Do not claim inspection of a surviving 1526 title page.
The inspected Luther Bible evidence is an actual title transcription. It is not a claim of visual inspection of the original 1534 artifact. Luther's complete-Bible date does not imply that he worked without collaborators. The Erasmus wording avoids an unsupported first printed Greek New Testament claim.
The KJV wording attributes translation to scholars rather than James personally. It omits a numerical translator count and a specific day of publication. Coverdale's publication place is omitted because the historical accounts discuss disputed older attributions; his primary prologue does not claim original-language independence.
The Massachusett Bible's entire text was accessible as OCR; the Genesis text was inspected and the 1663 edition was identified through item metadata and corroborating histories. Its New Testament title separately dates to 1661. The Native-printer letter excerpt concerns the later second-edition project and is not proof of a letter written in 1663. The agency assertion is intentionally not tied to that year's first-edition printing.
The auction listing is used only as the host of an explicitly identified Eliot letter quotation, not as an independent verifier. The Jamaica Plain article's sweeping claim that its subject was the only transliteration of Massachusett is excluded. The Library of Congress and local history use differing forms of another collaborator's name; this packet does not harmonize those names or assign an unverified exact letter date.
Franklin's Whitefield account and Graham's Los Angeles account are retrospective memoir evidence. Their writing or hosting dates are not the dates of the narrated events. Crowd estimates and Franklin's origin-country variants are excluded.
The preliminary Moody ledger incorrectly described its source as a family biography. The final source is the inspected named-author text by J. Wilbur Chapman, an associate's retrospective biographical account. It is not William R. Moody's different biography. The exact meeting chronology is also checked against two distinct histories.
Graham's spoken transcript explicitly labels Billy Graham and the announcer separately. Graham's cross-and-forgiveness sentences are his; the announcer's Grow Your Faith invitation is not attributed to him. The personal-faith teaching is additionally inspected in the message explicitly attributed to Graham. No audio was listened to or independently speaker-authenticated.
Graham's own assurance reading rejects reliance on feelings and religious ecstasy. The Lutheran comparison is a proposed source exercise about conversion, assurance and the Word and sacraments, not an assertion that Graham's entire theology is captured by a brief reading. Spurgeon's sermon and the Azusa newsletter likewise do not establish the doctrines of every Baptist or Pentecostal.
The Bonhoeffer excerpt is a later English rendering of the original German work. Its modern English publication date is not substituted for the original 1937 date. No unverified execution-date claim is included.
Leo's primary address page has leo-xvi in its URL but identifies Leo XIV in the actual title and text. The original URL is retained and its defect noted. The claim concerns the 2025 transition and does not project events after the October 5, 2026 cutoff.
No new World fact uses Catholic Encyclopedia as a verifier; this packet adds no World facts and preserves the existing World material. Its new histories come from museums, archives, universities, historical reference works, contemporary reporting and relevant scholarly or Christian institutions. Do not describe every source institution as secular.
The corpus includes older Britannica and Dictionary of National Biography entries. Their narrow dates corroborate inspected primary works; their evaluative or sectarian language is not adopted. Short locators and paraphrased support are used rather than reproducing lengthy source passages.
The review is a justified expansion, not an assertion that every significant modern Christian figure is now included. The coverage matrix records recognizable candidates that need their own verified packets before factual insertion.

Eliot’s letter about a Native printer concerns the project and second edition. It does not prove first-edition participation in 1663. The Moody primary is J. Wilbur Chapman’s retrospective biography, chapter 10. It is not a family biography by William R. Moody. Graham’s named-speaker transcript supports his spoken proclamation of the cross and forgiveness. His separately attributed written message supports the personal-faith comparison. Announcer statements are not attributed to Graham. The Leo entry retains the working Vatican URL despite its documented path typo.

Preservation checks

All original factual entries and source links remain in their original order. New entries are inserted within the existing strands. Two older teaching instructions were split for clarity: the Dome/Nicene comparison in Unit 7 and the images question in Unit 8. All 52 prior World landmarks remain. Gutenberg’s printing method appears directly beside the earlier Gutenberg Bible entry. All 21 root-index century links remain relative. Every unit retains Christology, Baptism, and the Lord’s Supper. The original 12 objectives and original historical proof tables remain. Publication of this audit does not silently reclassify optional readings as proven facts.
