This phrase refers to a specific type of puzzle where the clues relate to content found within Old Testament books as presented in a Catholic Bible translation. These puzzles may test knowledge of figures, events, theological concepts, or specific passages contained within these scriptures. For example, a clue might be “First woman in the Bible (Catholic spelling)” with the answer being “Eve.”
Such puzzles serve as a tool for religious education and engagement. They encourage deeper familiarity with the text and traditions of the Catholic Old Testament. Historically, these types of word games have provided a less formal and engaging way to learn and reinforce religious knowledge, offering an alternative to more traditional methods of study.
