INTRODUCTION
As part of the Diamond Jubilee celebration marking the 75th anniversary of

its presence in the Philippines, the Society of St. Paul organized a Bible quiz
which culminated in its Championship Round at the Manila International
Bookfair on September 17, 2010. The venture met with such unexpected
success that the organizersST PAULS Philippines and Prime Trade
Asiadecided to hold a second competition and even to make it a regular
feature of the International Bookfair. The Second St. Paul National Bible
Quiz (SPNBQ) which held its Finals on September 15, 2011 was even a
bigger event in terms of school and parish participation, semifinals held
in different regions in the country, production, and excitement it elicited
among the participants and audience.
To encourage more young people to study the Bible, the SPNBQ is now
coming out with a reviewer which contains questions in the elimination,
semifinal, and championship rounds of the first two Bible quizzes. This,
hopefully, will help the participating teams familiarize themselves with the
type of questions that were used. New questionnaires are added to help the
young broaden their knowledge of the Bible.
The questions that were asked in the elimination round were grouped in
three categories: Old Testament; the Gospels; Acts, Letters, and Revelation,
and each category was answered by one member of the team. In the semifinal
and championship rounds, these were divided into Easy, Average, and
Difficult categories and answered by all three team members together. No
particular order was followed; questions were asked as they were picked out
by the contest hosts.
For easy review and references:
In the booklet, the questions are arranged in canonical order,

following the order of books as they appear in the Catholic Bible.
Arrangement also follows the numerical order of chapters and verses
in each book of the Bible. But in the actual contest, this order
wont be followed, as questions are asked in random order, as they
are picked out.
vi BIBLE QUIZ REVIEWER
Some questions may appear in the booklet not just once; some PART I
questions in the eliminations were used again in the semis or finals,
in the same formulation or in another form. This will enable the Elimination Round
participants to review their performance, what they answered
correctly or missed. SPNBQ 1 & 2
We hope that SPNBQ will not just be about knowing the Biblical
text but will inspire everyone to put the Word of God in practice in his or SSS
her life. May the divine Word truly become a lamp for our feet, a light for
our path (cf. Ps 119:104).
