So what is Bible Quizzing Anyway?

Great Question!

It might be easier to explain what Quizzing is Not.  Bible Quizzing is not Trivia.

Teams are asked Interrogative Questions taken from specific scripture references and are awarded individual and team points for correct answers.

What's an Interrogative?​

Wikipedia explains it this way:

An interrogative is a word used to ask a question, such as:
what, when, where, who, whom, why, and how.

They are sometimes called wh-words, because in English most of them start with "wh."
