Bible Night

Bible Trivia Questions

Bible Night is a respectful round on the people, places and stories of the Old and New Testaments: prophets and kings, journeys and parables, books, numbers and stories people have read for thousands of years. Questions are about what the text says, not about anyone's faith, and every one is checked by a person before it goes live. Below are 25 Bible trivia questions with answers, sorted from easy to hard.
