50 Bible trivia questions to test your spiritual smarts
If you grew up going to Sunday school, then you'll definitely recall hearing about classic Bible tales like Noah's ark and Jonah and the whale.
Between the Old Testament and the New Testament, the Bible has a plethora of captivating chronicles. You may remember the dramatic tale of Moses parting the Red Sea, or of Samson's prodigious strength.
Perhaps you were fascinated by the story of Joshua fighting the battle of Jericho, or Jesus's miracle of the loaves and fishes.
While your childhood Sunday school lessons may now be a distant memory, it's never too late to brush up on your Bible knowledge.
Think back: do you remember how many commandments Moses received on Mount Sinai? How about the name of the garden in which Jesus was arrested — or the name of the disciple who betrayed him?
For an extra challenge, can you name all the fruits of the spirit? (Hint: you won't find them in the produce aisle.)
Whether you’re a little rusty on Revelations or a pro at Psalms, now is the time to review your favorite stories and verses.
If you're looking to test your Bible knowledge, these Bible trivia questions are an easy way to refresh your memory.
