Bible Quiz Questions
The use of Bible quiz questions is an interesting and non-threatening way to impart knowledge of Biblical topics. A series of Bible study questions is presented, and the participant attempts to respond with a correct answer. There are a great variety of settings and formats which can be employed using this basic system. Quizzes can be made available to individuals in a Sunday School setting to offer more variety in teaching methods. They may also be used as an ice-breaker at events or serve as a tool to focus attention upon a particular topic at the start of small group Bible studies. Other quiz questions provide a way to deal discreetly with embarrassing or controversial subject matter. Quizzing is also regarded as an activity or competition, used by many congregations to help train their young people in the knowledge of the Bible and in the development of various aspects of Christian character.
Interest can be developed or maintained in a particular area of Bible knowledge. Quizzes can simply be printed out on paper and issued to participants in a multitude of settings. Adults and children alike seem to enjoy the challenge of measuring their understanding of Biblical matters. Topics for Bible study questions may vary according to the purpose of the quiz. Quizzes may be employed to increase one's Biblical understanding or to review particular subjects taught recently at Sunday School. Teen classes may particularly enjoy the anonymity of personally scored quizzes, especially if the material involved is about relationships or other matters which they might be reluctant to discuss or reveal to others. Bible quiz questions can fill in gaps in understanding in persons of all ages, without the embarrassment of having to publicly admit one's lack of knowledge in a particular area.
The Bible study questions found in a quiz may help to focus a group upon a certain topic. Used at the beginning of a class or event, they put participants at ease and help develop a sense of cohesiveness. These exercises can help a speaker or teacher to quickly gauge the needs of an audience or group of students. For example, if a teacher notes that nearly everyone easily completes Bible quiz questions, it is probably safe to move on to a new topic. If, however, students struggle over every answer, perhaps some additional instruction in this area is in order.
Speaking of instruction, many church denominations use quizzing as a tool to further train young people in spiritual matters. Some churches participate in denominational or even national competitions, where quizzing takes on the quality of a sport or challenge. These competitions often feature special equipment for electronically determining (through buzzers or lights) the first person to respond to Bible study questions or to volunteer to quote Biblical passages. Between competitions, young people study specific passages assigned for the next competition or activity. In this way, the material is being memorized and perhaps also even incorporated into Sunday School or youth group meetings, so that participants have a full understanding of the passage and its application to daily living. Memorization and learning occur naturally, rather than being part of a list of behaviors a teacher is nagging the student to accomplish.
One important result from participating in quizzes is that this activity brings one to the realization that there is much about the Bible which one does not know. Humility is a valuable and rare quality, and Bible quiz questions quickly reveal an individual's need for further study. Quizzes can be designed not only to reveal this fact, but also to impart more knowledge in an enjoyable and interesting manner. Many quizzes are fashioned in such a way that the answer is immediately evaluated. Correct answers are congratulated and Biblical answers presented to those who answered incorrectly. Most on line questions are followed by supporting Scriptures, conveniently displayed.
Churches can also use Bible quiz questions for a method of outreach to the community. Many 'facts' which the public believes are Biblical are actually erroneous. Booths with electronic quiz boards may be set up at fairs or community events to offer participants the chance to explore certain topics in a non-threatening way or try their hand at answering questions. Additional free information such as Christian tracts, books or DVDs can be offered. Perhaps a special class for those who have never studied the Bible can be arranged.
Jesus often posed questions to his disciples and detractors alike. Whether to cause the individual to clarify his or her thinking about a matter, or to confront evildoers with the reality of their sin, such questions proved to be a very effective teaching tool. A person might be uncomfortable with the conclusions they come to, but such questions present one with the opportunity to come to a point of decision about the matter. In all of the above situations the final result is that Biblical truths are becoming fully understood and available to everyone. Whether presented to believers during Sunday School classes and church events, or to seekers looking for the truth, "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works." (II Timothy 3:16-17) The truth of God's Word is the precious jewel shining forth in the setting of a Bible study question.
