How well do you know the Bible? For most of us the answer is probably not as well as we think we do. There are all kinds of facts, details, people and events that get forgotten, and to many the Bible is a closed book – with huge swathes rarely (if ever) read.

This new book of quizzes from bestselling author Nick Fawcett highlights some of the people, places and events recorded in Scripture and effectively whets appetites for more. There are questions on the geography and natural world of the Holy Land; on ancient civilisations, tribes and countries associated with biblical history; on the books of the Bible and passages within them; and, above all, on the characters central to Scripture’s unfolding story. Few of the questions are easy, but after trying the various quizzes a few times the Bible will become no longer a closed book but God’s living word.
