  • Bible Trivia: Archaeology and the Bible

  • The Neo-Babylonian decades, 626–539 BCE

    Eighty-seven years, from the revolt that founded the Neo-Babylonian empire to the night it ended — with the biblical texts placed beside the events, so the gap between the two bands is visible.

    Twelve questions on the deportation and what came after it — the Babylonian court, the Persian decrees, and the two men who rebuilt the temple and the wall.

  • 2 Kings

    The point where almost every king can be checked against Assyrian and Babylonian records — and where the regnal numbers for Israel and Judah refuse to reconcile.

  • Bible Trivia: Kings of Israel and Judah

    Twelve questions on the two royal lines that follow the split at Shechem — who reigned where, who was murdered by whom, and which king belongs to which kingdom.

  • Bible Trivia: The Exile and the Return

    Twelve questions on the fall of Jerusalem, the years in Babylon and the return under Persia — the period where the biblical account and the external record overlap most.

  • Bible Trivia: Kings and Prophets

    Twelve questions across three levels on the prophets who confronted the kings of Israel and Judah — every answer worked through, with the passage that settles it.
