Of course I am somewhat biased having participated in the program for over 30 years.
It is a great way to encourage young people to learn the Bible and draw closer to God.
This past year, my team and I attended both the WPF and the UPCI Senior quizzing finals.
All of my quizzers said this was their best summer ever.

bible quizzing wasn't about getting people closer to God. it was about having them memorize scriptures on the pretense that it was helping them out spiritually. I find nothing spiritual about bible quizzing. Instead of building up each other it builds pride. It's just a way for youth to say look I'm smarter and more spiritual than you. It's a competition and while I understand that friendly competition is one of the best motivators for doing something like memorizing the bible... i think it teaches youth to memorize the bible for the wrong reasons.
