Bridge Talk - August 2008

Can you answer these questions about the Bible?

1. Who is the most frequently mentioned woman in the Bible?
2. Not counting Jesus, who is the most frequently mentioned man in the Bible?
3. What is the longest book in the Bible by word count?
4. What is the shortest Psalm?
5. What is the longest Psalm?
6. In English, what is the shortest verse in the New Testament? (Bonus: What about in Greek?)
7. Which Old Testament book does not mention God?
8. What two books of the Bible are named after women?
9. Which human author wrote more books of the Bible than any other?
10. What book of the Bible features a talking donkey?

If you don't know an answer, try to guess it. Then try to figure it out using only your Bible. Only as a last resort should you turn to the Internet, a friend, a concordance, or some other help. Have fun!

Make sure to keep reading your Bible regularly. Even just one chapter a day is good. Say to God, like the psalmist did, "I will not neglect your word." (Ps. 119:16 NIV)
