	I always forget a couple of the minor prophets in this quiz. It's really interesting how some of the names such as Joel, Daniel and Ruth are still used today in the Western world whereas many are lost or corrupted beyond our recognition.

	I missed seven of the minor prophets :-(

	Very fun. I got all of them in order. Hurray!!

	I teach the books in classes, I just couldn't spell a couple of them. I have known them in order since I was a kid.

	I think it would help to include in the instructions how to type the books that have 1 or 2 in front of them, because I was typing in every combination except the right one. :

	naynay2298:	Mar 3rd, 2009 at 06:04 GMT	-3 points
	you need to include the deuterocanonical books which are tobit, judith, wisdom, sirach, baruch, and 1 and 2 maccabees. Don't punish because Luther didn't think these books were worthy :)

	agree with Anthony-- those should at least be bonus answers. If you grew up with those books but aren't a theology scholar, you (I!) would be very confused. I must've put in Judith and Wisdom a dozen different times, and tried a dozen different spellings of Maccabees.

	Anthony: Luther was only following established Jewish practice. The Christians added the Apocrypha to begin with. This was actually quite hard for me since in Jewish Bibles, the 12 minor prophets are one book! Also, different order, no split books.

	further proof that my ability to spell Old Testament names is subpar.

	pbrown:	Apr 6th, 2009 at 05:33 GMT	3 points
	I should know all these

	Dahlia:	Apr 7th, 2009 at 23:02 GMT	4 points
	Never seen Habbakuk spelled that way so I missed that one, and wrote "Kings I," "Samuel I," etc. so I missed those too...my lifelong Hebrew knowledge of the Bible did me no favors in this one.

	arabellafigg:	Apr 9th, 2009 at 20:49 GMT	4 points
	i wrote first samuel 1st samuel, didnt try 1 samuel, so didnt score on samuel, kings, chronicles which is annoying as i otherwise sis ok!

	You may want to change the title to say that it is the Protestant/King James Old Testament-you're missing part of the Catholic (Tobias/Tobit, Machabees 1 & 2, Wisdom, Ecclesiasticus, & Baruch), you could have them drop in as "extras" but to call this "Books of the Old Testament" is misleading as Tobias was the first one I put in after the Torah.

	I have a couple things to say... first of all YAY! I can do all of them in order in under 2 minutes. Second of all, Chris, the Bible books in this sporcle quiz are not just for Protestant and KJV Bibles, almost all sects of Christianity use these Bible Books. Oh, I lied one more thing, I agree with the other books being bonuses. :)

	Yay! I got all of them in order in 1:30! My Sabbath School teacher would be happy!

	beckles:	Jun 27th, 2009 at 11:24 GMT	1 point
	I thought Catholics didn't read the Bible.

	I got the first five off the George Eats Lunch Next Door mmenonic. Knew that would come in handy someday!

	stupid spell check...

	Hamburger:	Aug 12th, 2009 at 03:35 GMT	3 points
	spelling by far and away my biggest issue.

	HarryNJ:	Aug 20th, 2009 at 18:55 GMT	3 points
	Mixed up the order of the numeral with Samuel, Kings, Chronicles. Maybe it could be made so the order doesn't matter.

	bostoncane:	Sep 3rd, 2009 at 07:41 GMT	1 point
	The deuterocanonical books were not "added" to the Bible, they belonged to an even earlier canon than was being used in Jewish practice at the time.

	My mother would be so disappointed in me right now, she was the one that taught me the song to know these!!

	zigs:	Sep 21st, 2009 at 07:12 GMT	4 points
	I was trying to type Samuel 1, Samuel ONE, Samuel I, Same with Kings and Chronicles. Didn't think to put the numeral before.

	I always miss a couple of the minor prophets, must be why their called minor (although I still should have gotten Jonah, how can you forget the fish guy).

	rlouiser:	Oct 13th, 2009 at 22:34 GMT	2 points
	I got them all right with 1:10 to spare. The reason it took so long; my spelling of some of those names are awful! Especially those minor prophets!!!
