Bible Quiz

So a friend of mine’s mother gave this to me yesterday. It’s pretty fun. There are 30 books of the Bible hidden in the paragraph down below. Your job is to find them. Actually, there are 31 if you can find the variant of one Old Testament prophet’s name. They are both Old and New Testament books.

I’ll get you started, and give you the variant of the Old Testament Prophet. It’s Osee, which is a variant of Hosea. Hmm.. I wonder if both spelling are in the puzzle.

So yeah! You can use a Bible if you want… I don’t consider that cheating. But.. don’t cheat

This is a most remarkable puzzle. It was found by a gentleman in an
airplane seat pocket, on a flight from Los Angeles to Honolulu, keeping
him occupied for hours. He enjoyed it so much, he passed it on to some
friends. One friend from Illinois worked on this while fishing from his
john boat. Another friend studied it while playing his banjo. Elaine
Taylor, a columnist friend, was so intrigued by it she mentioned it in
her weekly newspaper column. Another friend judges the job of solving
this puzzle so involving, she brews a cup of tea to help her nerves.
There will be some names that are really easy to spot. That’s a fact.
Some people, however, will soon find themselves in a jam, especially
since the book names are not necessarily capitalized. Truthfully, from
answers we get, we are forced to admit it usually takes a minister or a
scholar to see some of them at the worst. Research has shown that
something in our genes is responsible for the difficulty we have in
seeing the books in this paragraph. During a recent fund raising event,
which featured this puzzle, the Alpha Delta Phi lemonade booth set a
new record. The local paper, The Chronicle, surveyed over 200 patrons
who reported that this puzzle was one of the most difficult they had
ever seen. As Daniel Humana humbly puts it, “The books are all right
here in plain view hidden from sight.” Those able to find all of them
will hear great lamentations from those who have to be shown. One
revelation that may help is that books like Timothy and Samuel may
occur without their numbers. Also, keep in mind, that punctuation and
spaces in the middle are normal. A chipper attitude will help you
compete really well against those who claim to know the answers.
Remember, there is no need for a mad exodus; there really are 30 books
of the Bible lurking somewhere in this paragraph waiting to be found.

I actually only had trouble finding five of them. Well, six actually. I’ll give the answers tomorrow or sometime.
