Idea #5: Bible Quiz tournaments, websites, and a movie too
The Bible has inspired all kinds of things, even a regular series of Bible Quiz events where student teams (typically between grades six through twelve) compete over Bible knowledge. “Bible Quiz is a first-class, organized and detailed youth Discipleship Ministry. Each year, over 2,000 youth nationwide go deeper into God’s Word…” This subculture of activities has even warranted an entry for Bible quiz on Wikipedia at wikipedia.org/wiki/Bible_quiz
According to BibleQuiz.com, there’s over 50 years of history, with the first national Bible Quiz Finals held in 1963. The history section of the BibleQuiz.com website has quite an archive of info from past events: national finals, regional finals, district finals, and tournaments. There are Bible Quiz teams organized by denominations, like:
- Assemblies of God Bible Quiz biblequiz.ag.org
- Free Methodist Bible Quizzing fmquizzing.org
- IFCA Bible Quizzing ifcaquizzing.org
- United Pentecostal Church International’s Senior Bible Quizzing seniorbiblequizzing.com
- Nazarene Style Teen Bible Quizzing nazquizzing.org
Here’s a sample of Bible Quiz associations organized by location:
- Bible Quiz Georgia biblequizgeorgia.com
- Florida Quizzing Association thefqa.com
- Northwest Ohio Bible Quizzing nwobiblequiz.org
- Pacific Northwest Bible Quizzing pnwquizzing.com
- World Bible Quiz Association wbqa.org
Another version of Bible knowledge competitions is called Bible Bowl, organized by a non-profit for Christian Churches and Churches of Christ at BibleBowl.net
There’s also 2 podcasts that have run for years:
- BibleQuizzer.net - podcast with The Inside Scoop for Everything Bible Quiz
- BibleQuizPodcast.com - The Bible Quiz Podcast, Teen Bible Quiz news and analysis
And to more quickly get immersed and learn about this Bible quizzing sub-culture, watch the award-winning documentary movie, aptly titled Bible Quiz, which was recently released on Netflix, Amazon Instant, and iTunes; also available on DVD. Watch the movie trailer to preview.
With serious competition and discipleship going on with Bible quizzing, imagine how .BIBLE domain names could be used to meaningfully point to online resources to better prepare for Bible Quiz tournaments.
