Stupid question but is it common for Christians to be able to identify which book a Bible verse belongs to? I assume you'd have to have read the Bible multiple times to be able to play this, right?
It's pretty easy to tell that something is old or new testament based on the writing styles. What's hard is the OT has a fair number of similar writers and a lot of books. The first question I got was [redacted] (lol) which is really hard to track down as they all sound the same to me.
Edit I didn't realize everyone had the same question. So pulled out the hint.
Personally, I know Genesis/Exodus, Psalms, and the Gospels well. I can recognize Epistles on sight, but identifying the exact one is really just a guessing game. Most everything else I am not familiar with and will take me a while to guess.
I think that's why people have enjoyed it so far, because of the tradeoff of getting a verse you recognize (so you can guess the book quickly) or getting an unfamiliar verse (so you get to expand your familiarity with the Bible).
I do not know the Bible particularly well compared to many other people, and I know the New Testament better than the Old (not uncommon - its both smaller and more important to Christians).
OT is a lot harder simply because of the number of writers and how boring/similar a lot of the writing is. To be successful you'd need to have something pulled from like the pentateuch. Maybe psalms or something like Kings/Chronicles.
