	because Judith is not a book in the canonized protestant Bible.

	Judith is in the Apocrypha--many would not consider that a book of the bible- but it did mention it in the directions. Don't know any actors named Tobit though (maybe Toby Maguire's full name?)

	This quiz is heavily skewed to people who know something about the Bible and can recognize peoples' faces on sight. Unfair.

	The order of the pictures needs to be mixed up. Once I realized that it was in book order, I didn't even need to look at the pictures to complete the quiz.

	It's a really good idea for a quiz, just a shame I only recognised a few of the faces - and totally blanked on Mr Law...

	@cambyrd: every Sporcle quiz is geared toward a certain group of people who are knowledgeable about a certain subject. Deal with it.

	@kromclovinfasho: I'm pretty sure that's the joke.

	I don't know why all the downvotes. Cambyrd was clearly being facetious with his comment.

	@TimeAndTide That Isaiah Thomas is a DIFFERENT basketball player than Isiah Thomas (the more famous one who spells his name unlike the bible book). Plus, after his homophobic comments, I'd rather not have Isaiah Washington on my Sporcle quiz :)

	zapamania:	Nov 14th, 2012 at 18:58 GMT		3 points
	yes TimeAndTide... he does spell his name that way. that is current player from the Kings; not Hall of Famer playerIsiah Thomas from Pistons .

	Having the pictures in order actually helped me get Judith. After guessing Malachi and Matthew I knew something was up. However, on the same note, why is Judith listed between the New and Old Testament books? It seems that Bibles which contain the deuterocanonical books put Judith right before Esther. Is it common to have the Apocrypha grouped together in the middle?

	@Cheetah: You didn't need to realize it was in order, that was told to you in the note at the top.

	Damn. I was really hoping you'd find a guy called 'Psalms'.

	I have to confess to having a slight man crush on Joshua Malina. He's just such a great actor, even when he is breaking up with Sabrina Lloyd who played Natalie (the cutest, most awesome girlfriend ever!) on Sports Night, which, although not by any means Aaron Sorkin's most famous work (also did The West Wing, The Social Network, A Few Good Men among others), is arguably one of his best (mainly argued by me) and premiered only 14 short years ago, and lasted but two, but did win Emmies! Don't tell me I'm not relevant, people!

	Micah Richards never heard of him. How are we Americans supposed to know some English soccer player? (Tongue is firmly planted in cheek)

	cambyrd:	Nov 14th, 2012 at 20:53 GMT		2 points
	@kromclovinfasho: There are a lot of people who complain about quizzes being geared toward Americans. So, my comment was, as defineexistence noted, a joke.

	There is an actual soccer player named Exodus... almost a complete unknown, but still. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exodus_Geohaghon

	Great quiz. Too bad there was no room for Nehemiah Persoff!

	all in all a good quiz... missed the ones I didn't know by face, and couldn't think of as far as OT books go... one thing that threw me, Isaiah Thomas. However, you are correct. That is Isaiah Thomas, not the Isiah (notice spelling...) Thomas that most people would think of, and who this guy was named after. Nicely done!

	I thought Jeremiah was Dan (or Daniel) Haggerty from Grizzly Adams.
