ANSWERS to "Bible Trivia for 500, Alex" posted on July 21:
Jeopardy (Basic): Who is the woman, later named "Eve"? (The man names the woman "Eve," meaning "Mother of the Living" only after the text assigns her a subordinate position to the man. Naming in the Bible indicates power over the one named.)

Double Jeopardy (Advanced):  What is the Book of Job? ("The Satan" is a part of God's heavenly court in the Book of Job. Although interpretation places Satan in the Garden of Eden in the earlier biblical Book of Genesis, Genesis 3 actually only mentions "the serpent." Satan is not named. The serpent is a symbol of wisdom in the ancient world, and so the figure of the Genesis serpent is probably not meant to personify evil, but rather to show how the first parents grasped for a wisdom that God had reserved to himself.)
