Test Your Old Testament Bible Knowledge

Welcome! Take the quizzes below and test your knowledge of the Old Testament. There is an Easy challenge section, Medium challenge section, and Expert challenge section. Some will be true or false questions, and others will be multiple choice. As there are so many differences as to how Bible scholars interpret the Bible, these answers are based on the general consensus. I tried to stay away from controversial issues. If you have a serious disagreement with an answer, feel free to comment. This is meant to be fun, so enjoy and have fun!

Thanks Jack. I think believers need to be in the word so much more than they are. Know what you believe I always say. Thanks for stopping by.
Great hub!
I very much enjoyed the quizzes. Thank you for providing them. I am sorry to say that I missed 7 out of the 99 questions—Zero in the easy part; 2 in the medium segment; and 5 in the expert section. That was fun!
Glad you enjoyed it James. It was fun but very tedious to put together.
Definitely a humbling reminder to brush up on the Old Testament!
Thanks for stopping by HL. We can never exhaust our learning. We don't have the retentive qualities in our brain. That's where the Holy Spirit comes in eh? Blessings!
