Cheat Sheet
- Bible Structure and Book Divisions -
The Bible comprises 66 books split into the Old Testament (39 books: Law, History, Poetry, Major & Minor Prophets) and the New Testament (27 books: Gospels, Acts, Epistles, Revelation). Use the mnemonic "Let's Have Pizza, Please, Mate" for Law, History, Poetry, Prophecy, Minor Prophets (source: ESV Study Bible; Oxford Biblical Studies Online). Understanding this framework helps you quickly locate stories and passages during a Bible quiz.
- Key Biblical Chronology -
Familiarize yourself with major dates - from Creation (~4000 BC) and the Exodus (c. 1446 BC) to the Babylonian Exile (586 BC), Christ's birth (4 BC) and ministry (AD 30), through to the writing of Revelation (~AD 95). A timeline chart (BibleHub Chronological Bible) can reinforce sequence memory by visualizing events. Chronology mastery lets you quickly place events in context during "test your Bible knowledge" sessions.
- Recognizing Literary Genres -
The Bible features genres like Law, Narrative, Wisdom Poetry, Prophecy, Epistle and Apocalyptic, each following unique patterns (e.g., parallelism in Psalms vs. structured argument in Romans). The Society of Biblical Literature's genre guide recommends the mnemonic "DISCoAP" (Description, Instruction, Song, Prophecy, Apocalypse) to recall each type. Spotting genres sharpens your ability to interpret style and purpose accurately on Bible trivia questions.
- Original Languages and Translation Tools -
The Old Testament was written mainly in Hebrew and Aramaic, and the New Testament in Koine Greek; mastering basic vocabulary with interlinear Bibles (Blue Letter Bible) and Strong's Concordance (e.g., G2532 = "kai," H3068 = "Yahweh") can clarify key terms. The Nestle-Aland 28 Greek New Testament and Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia are authoritative for advanced study (source: SBL Handbook of Biblical Criticism). Leveraging these tools positions you to tackle word-study questions confidently.
- Major Theological Themes -
Core themes such as Covenant (Genesis - Deuteronomy), Kingdom of God (Samuel - Matthew), and Salvation (Isaiah - Romans) recur throughout Scripture; use the acronym "CKS" to track Covenant, Kingdom, Salvation (source: ESV Study Bible thematic index). Mapping theme progression - from Abrahamic Covenant through the New Covenant in Christ - aids in answering broad-concept quiz questions. Identifying these threads enhances your ability to connect diverse passages under shared ideas.
