Foreword
The Bible is one of the world’s greatest books. It is a
bestseller, has had a far-reaching impact on human civilization,
and has encouraged and inspired millions of people throughout
history.
The Ultimate Bible Fact & Quiz Book is a new and exciting way
to discover the Bible. It can be used in community and church
groups, Sunday School classes, family games and devotions, or
simply for entertaining reading.
What’s unique about this collection of quizzes and facts is its
variety. Topics covered include Jesus Christ, important Bible
characters, significant events, geography, music, food, love, war,
money, gardening, animals, crime, punishment, miracles,
angels, dreams… the list is virtually endless!
The quizzes are designed to challenge every age and ability.
Some questions may seem easy, such as, ‘In which town was
Jesus born?’ or ‘Who was said to be the wisest King in the
Bible?’ Others may be a bit more challenging, like ‘How old was
Joash when he began to reign in Judah?’or ‘What was the name
of King David’s third son?’
There are hundreds of fascinating facts included. Did you know
that one of the words for ‘miracles’ in the New Testament is
‘dunamis’,from which we get our word ‘dynamite’?You’ll find this
and many more interesting nuggets of information – all about this
amazing book called the Bible. Enjoy!
