This is a general Bible crossword built from words that come up across both Testaments: the people Jesus sent out, the kinds of writing found in its books, the agreements described in the Old Testament stories and the language of church services.

Easy clues are straightforward and suit anyone who went to Sunday school. Medium asks for a little more familiarity, and Hard will test someone who reads the Bible regularly. The vocabulary is shared across many Christian traditions, and the clues stick to what the texts say.

For puzzles on single stories, see our Noah's Ark, David and Goliath and Ten Commandments crosswords. Each one focuses on a single passage.

Using this puzzle

Small groups and Bible studies can use it as an opener before discussion. Senior living chaplains and activity staff can print the large-print PDF for a weekly devotional hour and read the Easy clues aloud for those who prefer to listen.

It also makes a quiet sheet for a church waiting room or a fellowship hall table after the service.
