	One minute is the correct amount of time. What is the point in having a quiz if there is no time pressure? Get with it.

	Oooooh... needed an extra 15-30 seconds to try various spellings of the "Z" ones.

	Golden:	Jul 14th, 2010 at 21:52 GMT		4 points
	I was surprised at the fact that a minute was actually perfectly adequate (even taking into account a few spelling mishaps along the way)

	don't blame Sporcle. blame the Council of Nicea. ;) this was fun. got stuck on P and Z, but still fun!

	In the beginning...I forgot the book of Genesis. Duh.

	mimitchi86:	Jul 15th, 2010 at 00:35 GMT		5 points
	Good quiz. The time is perfect for 18 answers. Can't believe I missed Genesis, though.

	antiomi:	Jul 15th, 2010 at 01:26 GMT		0 points
	Zachariah should be an acceptable spelling, unless you want to specify an edition of the Bible (e.g. King James).

	andrew430:	Jul 15th, 2010 at 02:07 GMT		6 points
	mikeman has a point. This should specify that it only accepts the books in the Protestant Bible (or add the deuterocanonical books as acceptable answers). It took me a few seconds to realize what was going on when I typed Sirach and it wasn't accepted.

	BonnieH:	Jul 15th, 2010 at 11:53 GMT		8 points
	Odd that "S" took me the longest to come up with one. And also odd that I spelled Habakkuk right the very first time. :-) Good time limit.

	Not bad considering I'm agnostic. More people should name their kids Obadiah

	Yeah, you definitely need to specify which Bible you're using. It's certainly not the Catholic one (Baruch, et al. are missing). It took me a bit to realize that these were not included.

	BigSwitz98:	Jul 15th, 2010 at 18:39 GMT		10 points
	I agree with my fellow Catholics, although I can pretty well ascertain that Protestant versions will be used for most of the Bible-themed quizzes here.

	pumpkinchild22:	Jul 18th, 2010 at 06:25 GMT		8 points
	agreed with the two previous comments. I tried to put in Tobit for my t and it wouldn't take :-/

	Scurra:	Jul 18th, 2010 at 13:36 GMT		2 points
	Can't believe I forgot Genesis. And yes, one minute is exactly the perfect length of time for this one. Great work.

	ObedientArrow:	Aug 14th, 2010 at 01:09 GMT		7 points
	At least specify in the instructions which version is being used.

	Meltha:	Aug 19th, 2010 at 20:18 GMT		5 points
	I too got burned on Tobit before I realized what was up. I kept thinking I was spelling it wrong.

	JUST couldn't type Isaiah quick enough!

	JessicaNewton:	Jan 26th, 2011 at 00:39 GMT		1 point
	I thought one minute was one minute too short. we try to have our kids play these games and it is very frustrating for them.

	rolltidebama:	Jan 29th, 2011 at 21:48 GMT		5 points
	Can we get denomination-specific books as bonuses/alternate answers, perhaps? As a Catholic, I was confused why there was no "W" and why "Tobit" wasn't an acceptable "T" answer.

	Rifsun:	Mar 3rd, 2011 at 23:29 GMT		3 points
	@jtmaxwell: The Council of Nicea did not draw up the canon at all. It's a bit complicated when things got finalized, but certainly when St. Jerome created the Vulgate books such as 1/2 Maccabees and Tobit were included. You should be saying that we can't blame Luther for removing the books from the canon.

	I'm very excited that I did this in 30 seconds! I think before you try this quiz it'd be good to practice with the books of the Bible quiz first, which has a longer time limit...or learn the song that I got taught in Sunday school!

	PAisGreat:	May 28th, 2011 at 15:40 GMT		4 points
	When you start, you think "this will be easy" until you realize how long the names of most Bible books are. While I think it's safe to assume all sporcle quizzes follow the KJV of the Bible, I also agree that the Bible version needs to be specified, as there are so many different translations (i.e. King James, New American, Good News, etc). Other than that, Great Quiz!

	Maccabees should definitely be allowed. It is definitely in the Bible.

	deadperson21:	Jul 19th, 2011 at 05:46 GMT		3 points
	Why don't the apocrypha ever count as books of the Bible? They're part of the Bible for more than half of the Christians in the world. Martin Luther just thought he could remove them because they didn't agree with his theology.

	sportsjefe:	Feb 4th, 2012 at 06:06 GMT		2 points
	@appa_azkaban it's "Song of Solomon". that worked for me.

	I have all the books of the Bible memorized and still got only 16. Whew! Tough one.

	midnightlady:	Mar 8th, 2013 at 03:25 GMT		1 point
	I agree, tough one. I knew all the books, but cannot type or spell fast enough.
