Quizzing can be a fun way to learn unfamiliar topics. That concept is now applied in a Bible specifically designed for kids ages 8-12. On each page are quiz questions for readers to uncover answers in all the books of the Bible, such as, "What did God create on the third day?" "What were the first clothes in the Bible made from?" "Who committed the first murder in the Bible?" Bible Gateway interviewed editor Troy Schmidt about the NIV Kids' Quiz Bible (Zonderkidz, 2018).
