What was the name of that warrior again who killed Goliath? Of course, David! Or was it a certain Elhanan? Anyone who reads the Bible carefully will find quite a few champions who killed giants.

Whether you call it the Good Book or the Book of Books, whether you have only heard much about it or read parts of it, the Bible has shaped lives and history like no other book. But how well do we really know it? Here is a Bible quiz to mark World Book Day on 23 April.

It was all about power politics. But then someone came along and turned everything on its head: the One who Himself would become the answer to life’s questions.

Maundy Thursday recalls the Last Supper. Good Friday marks the crucifixion. Easter Sunday proclaims the resurrection. Each day stands as a defining moment in the Passion narrative. But what about Holy Saturday?

On the night before His death, Jesus instituted a meal that Christians continue to celebrate today. First shared in a private gathering, the Last Supper brings together the past, the present, and the future in the kingdom of God. 

The account of Jesus washing the feet of His disciples reveals the depth of Christ’s love. Even while fully aware of the betrayal and unfaithfulness that lie ahead, He cleanses their feet. In doing so, He sets a standard for all who desire to follow in His footsteps.

He heals the sick, touches the outcasts, and challenges the devout. But in the end, it says, “Heal yourself!” Why this is precisely what makes Jesus the true healer.

The curtain in the temple signified: this far and no further. Even the high priest was only allowed to enter the Holy of Holies once a year. This is precisely where the letter to the Hebrews starts, showing why Jesus is the true High Priest.

Seduced, expelled, discredited, and yet the source of all life: here is the story of a woman whose decision changed everything, absolutely everything for everyone.

The Saviour of the world made an appearance, and hardly anyone noticed. All the guests wondered about was why the wine suddenly tasted so good. An event full of significance.

Mothers do not have it easy, especially this one: her life was a complex mix of joy and sorrow, worry and hope. The journey from the bier to the cradle symbolises a new beginning and hope. 

Everyone has their own truth, but the gospel tells us: truth is a person. “I am the way, the truth, and the life.”

What will become of me when God makes all things new? The Ninth Article of Faith speaks of a future in which God will dwell among people—and that wounded histories will not simply be erased but healed.

When a mission becomes a brand and faith becomes a success story, you lose sight of the cross. But Jesus reminds us in an unnerving kind of way that love is not measured by how many people have been exposed to it, but by true discipleship.

This is what faithful servants, wise virgins, and entrusted talents all have in common: the answer from the parable of the Last Judgement. Here is how we encounter God today.
