Non-believing critics might claim that the Bible, most of whose texts were more or less 'done and dusted' 2,000 or more years ago, has little to teach anyone about modern living ... since things have changed so much, not least in the past couple of centuries with travel and technology etc. But if you have been online recently ~ other than for our quizzes, of course ~ there is quite a lot of pertinent guidance in the Ten Commandments. Which of these could you claim never to have been tempted to disobey while you were online, and perhaps using 'social media'?

A helpful way to study the Bible can be to memorise individual verses on an organised basis: such as looking at the many times when God (or an angel) appears to someone and they are told 'Do not be afraid'. If you focused on these one-a-day, how long would it take to complete the series?

Among much else, Jesus taught the value of a simple positive faith, rather than an obsession (in some powerful traditional religious quarters) with scrupulously obeying large numbers of detailed negative restrictions.

Two American businessmen founded an organisation which puts copies of the Holy Bible into otherwise 'anonymous' places such as hotels, hospitals and prisons ~ where people may be spending stretches of time alone but under various stress and tension. They named their organisation after a doughty Bible character who rallied support for God's cause in difficult times. Who was he?

When the Reformation came about (around 500 years ago, i.e. 1/4 of the way back through the Christian era), one major feature of it was that the Bible should be freely available in anyone's local language: this in an age when printing had barely come to Europe, so books were still rare and precious. Which of the following was NOT legally enforced in England at that time?

There are now almost innumerable versions and printings of the Bible in every known language, and sometimes with particular editorial emphasis for a given denomination or some other reason (e.g. versions that try their hardest to avoid emphasising 'he' when referring to individual believers, who might of course just as easily be female). One of the following is NOT ~ at least, at time of writing ~ known to be genuine: which one?

One particular Book in the Old Testament of the Holy Bible is read &/or worked-through on a regular basis in churches, monasteries and by individuals ~ usually every month, sometimes every year, possibly even every week. Which Book is this?
