Use these easy Bible trivia to test your knowledge of the Bible, or turn it into a quiz for the kids at Sunday school.
The Bible is one of the oldest texts known to man. It chronicles the happenings of ancient Israel and its people. The Bible used by Christians is divided into the Old Testament and the New Testament. The Old Testament consists of a collection of works, including genealogies, poems and stories that were written between the twelfth to the second century B.C. It is the New Testament that holds accounts of the life of Jesus Christ, as told in the four Gospels. Apart from these, the New Testament includes the Acts of the Apostles, the Epistles (letters), and the Book of Revelation.
The Holy Bible is very vast, and will take a good deal of time for anyone to read and comprehend. It is also fairly difficult to memorize facts from the bible. If you are a seasoned Bible reader, these easy questions would let you test your knowledge. If you are a first-time reader, then they will help crystallize some important facts in your mind. An interesting piece of easy Bible trivia for kids is that the Holy Bible is the best-selling book of all times, having sold about 6 million copies in 2000 languages and dialects.
