About This Quiz

Sprinkled throughout this New Testament quiz are easy, somewhat easy and not-so-easy questions designed to boost your score while challenging your biblical knowledge.

If you have a pretty good understanding of the aforementioned, you are sure to gain at least 11 wins with this Good-book teaser.

Tackling some of the harder questions will require that you know your way around the gospels and that you have a good grasp of New Testament specifics. This is a chance for you to brush up on certain obscure biblical names that you don't see too often.
