Old or New Testament? is the simplest game here and the one most worth playing first. You are given a book of the Bible and you decide which testament it belongs to. No verses, no references — just the sixty-six books and a binary choice.

How to play Old or New Testament?

  1. The name of a book of the Bible appears on screen.
  2. Choose Old Testament or New Testament.
  3. Every one of the sixty-six books can come up, including the ones people hesitate over — Obadiah, Habakkuk, Philemon, Jude.
  4. Ten books make a round.

What this game teaches

The shape of the canon. Most people are sure about Genesis and Revelation and much less sure about the twelve minor prophets or the shorter letters. A couple of rounds makes the boundary between the testaments stick.

Who Old or New Testament? is for

Children, Sunday school classes, new believers, and anyone who wants a genuinely quick win. It is also the fastest of the eight games — a round takes under a minute.

Old or New Testament? — frequently asked questions

How many books of the Bible are in the game?
All sixty-six: thirty-nine Old Testament books from Genesis to Malachi, and twenty-seven New Testament books from Matthew to Revelation. Each round draws ten of them at random.
Which books trip people up most?
The short ones at the seam. Malachi is the last Old Testament book and Matthew the first New Testament book, so anything nearby causes hesitation, as do Philemon, Jude, Obadiah and Habakkuk.
Is this game suitable for young children?
Yes. There is nothing to read but a book name, the choice is between two buttons, and there is no timer. It is the most child-friendly game on this page alongside the Bible Quiz for Kids.
