Should I Mention This?
I will, because it will please Jane, anyway.
Someone over at Kendall Harmon’s blog pointed to a site that makes available the Bible Content exams that the Presbyterian Church administers as part of Ords (their answer to General Ordination Exams).
I won’t ask that anyone report a score — but it will reward seminarians (and clergy, and interested churchpeople, and cultural literacy types who don’t believe anything particular about Israel or Jesus) to give the test a few tries.

AKMA -- I actually passed the 2005 test with 97%. However, before I was an Episcopalian, I was a Nazarene minister, so this may not be a fair comparison. However, I believe my children could pass this test, and will ask one of them to try.

Of the sections I've completed thus far, my average is in the low 90's; a deficit largely due to having a less than stellar grasp on biblical (especially Old Testament) geography. Knowing where things happen is not my strong suit.
And yes, I do think this is cool.

I thought this was cool too and posted a link from my site. 96%--what a relief to have gotten all of the Gospel questions right... ;-)

My 17-year-old daughter scored a 92% on the 2005 test. And this is for seminary students? Hmm...
