I don’t see that the title “Confessions Test” is an accurate description. “Confessions Trivia Quiz” would seem to fill the bill.
While this is certainly a fun “memory tester”, it really does not “test” the comprehension level in a way that would be edifying and an enhancement of confessional awareness….except number four which has educational value.
Suggestions:
“Why did Luther prepare a catechism when the Bible was readily available?
” What induced the Formula of Concord XII , what was it’s purpose, and to whom was it presented?
* What was the purpose of the Schmalkaldic League ? What effect did it have on Lutheranism today?
What did these documents hope to achieve?
What did they accomplish?
NOTE: Keep it simple and stimulating in order for those, like myself, to improve our retention of the importance and the significance of these documents at the time they were written and also to this very day.
An interesting quiz for a group claiming a ‘non-piest’ view. I scored perfectly (all wrong) so that might bias my view.
A truer test would look for the reason BEHIND the correct answer, rather than relying on rote memorization to parrot words when prompted. After all, it’s easier to DO a goog deed than to talk it through.
