The First Five Books of the Bible

 

 

A good way to learn the Bible better is to memorize the books of the Bible.

 

  The first five books of the Bible are:

 

 Genesis

Exodus

Leviticus

Numbers

Deuteronomy

 

Altogether they are called ‘The Law’ or the ‘Pentateuch’ [the five books].  Moses was the author, with probably Joshua writing Deuteronomy chapter 34.

 

Trivia:

 

1. How many books are in the Bible?

2. How many books are in the Old Testament?

3. How many books are in the New Testament?

4. What is the shortest verse in the Bible?

5. What is the longest verse in the Bible?

The answers are listed at the end of the email.

 

A Bible quiz is a fun way to learn where the books are in the Bible.  Everybody holds their Bible closed on their laps. The leader reads off the reference and everyone scrambles to find it in their Bible.  The first person to read the verse is the winner for that round.  A small prize for the winner of the game is great motivation.  Have fun.
