Rules (as written by Amos)

Each company can enter a team consisting of three junior lads (a first year, a second year and a third year boy) who will compete for the Battalion Bible Quiz Trophy. However, for fun you are more than welcome to involve other teams of three made up of other lads, officers, parents or a combination of any of these.

The quiz will include a general Bible knowledge round, a round based on books of the Bible and a number of rounds on the theme "Elijah" based on the passages shown below. Let me emphasise that the questions will all be set using the GOOD NEWS translation. It is a team quiz and all the teams will have the same questions and be required to appoint a scribe who can record their agreed answer.

Bible passages on the theme "Elijah"

• 1 Kings 17: 1-7 - Elijah and the drought
• 1 Kings 17: 8-24 - Elijah and the widow in Zarephath
• 1 Kings 18: 1-40 - Elijah and the prophets of Baal
• 1 Kings 18: 41-46 - The end of the drought
• 1 Kings 19: 1-18 - Elijah on Mount Sinai
• 1 Kings 19: 19-21 - The call of Elisha

Thanks to Amos Salisbury for organising the competition and to 1st Harlington for hosting the event.
