    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    With the book of Malachi the Old Testament came to a close (400
    BC). Between Malachi and Matthew (400–4 BC) God did not give to

    There was the preparing of the way through the Greek language.
    Alexander the Great conquered the Mediterranean world and the near east
    (334–323 BC) in a cultural sense as well as militarily. One very important
    aspect of Greek culture was the Greek language. After Alexander, the
    Greek language gradually became the language used everywhere. The
    Old Testament Scriptures were translated into Greek in Egypt between
    250 and 100 BC This translation known as the Septuagint was used by
    Jews scattered over the Mediterranean world who were losing their ability
    to speak Hebrew. In the providence of God the gospel was spread to Jews
    and pagans in the Greek language. Also, the whole New Testament was
    originally written in Greek.

  • 9. 

    The Holy Spirit gave us four Gospels to

    • Make the life of Christ more exciting

    • Fulfill the prophecy of the Old Testament

    • Reach four representative groups of people

    • Dramatize the fullness of Christ’s life

    Correct Answer
    A. Reach four representative groups of people
    Explanation
    . But why four Gospels? Why not
    just one? Or why stop at four? Why not five or even more? The fact that there
    are four Gospels may be accounted for by the intention of the Holy Spirit
    to reach four representative groups which would find their counterpart in
    any age.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    The order of the New Testament books is

    • Logical

    • Topical

    • Chronological

    • Psychological

    Correct Answer
    A. Logical
    Explanation
    The order in which we find the New Testament books in our Bible is
    logical rather than chronological. For instance, James was probably the
    first book of the New Testament to be written (AD 45) but it is 20th in the
    order given in the New Testament. John’s Gospel was written somewhere
    between AD 85–95 but it is fourth in order
