Paul’s letters: recipients & themes Quiz

About this quiz

What you’ll practice

This Bible Trivia quiz focuses on identifying who each Pauline letter was written to and what it emphasizes—faith and works, church order, spiritual gifts, suffering, and more.

You’ll also sharpen your ability to distinguish similar-sounding audiences (churches vs. individuals) and connect key passages to their broader purpose.

Format and difficulty settings

Each question has 4 options and there’s no timer, so you can think carefully and learn as you go. Set your question count for a short session or the full 120-question run, and pick an easier or harder difficulty depending on how confident you feel.

Difficulty is balanced by mixing straightforward recipient questions with deeper theme-based prompts, so newer players can build momentum while experienced readers still get challenged.

Common pitfalls to avoid

Many misses come from confusing letters written to churches with letters written to coworkers, or mixing up themes that appear across multiple epistles. Watch for clues like location names, pastoral instructions, and repeated keywords.

Mixing up Thessalonians and Corinthians when questions mention spiritual gifts or the Lord’s return
Confusing pastoral letters (Timothy/Titus) with general church letters
Over-relying on one “signature verse” instead of the letter’s overall purpose
Forgetting that some letters address specific local issues (division, false teaching, disorder)
Assuming every theme is unique to one epistle when several overlap

Tips to score higher

If you’re unsure, eliminate options by recipient type first (church, city-region, or individual), then choose the theme that best fits the letter’s main aim. Replaying with a higher difficulty after a comfortable run is a great way to lock in the differences between similar letters.
