ANSWERS to "Bible Trivia for 1000, Alex" posted on August 4:
Jeopardy (Basic):What is Tanakh? (The Hebrew Bible contains 39 of the 46 books contained in Catholic Bibles. The books that were excluded from the Jewish canon in the first century AD were known, at the time, only in languages other than Hebrew, which was considered the sacred language.)

Double Jeopardy (Advanced):What are the Writings? (The Jewish Bible is divided into three parts: 1) The Torah or Law/Teaching--Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy; 2) The Nevi'im, or Prophets, which includes not only the written prophets but stories about prophets and their time period, as in the Books of Samuel and Kings); 3) The Ketuvim (The eleven books not included in the Torah or Nevi'im).

To take the entire trivia quiz, begin with the first post of Summer Series 2012, posted on July 7.
