About This Quiz

The Bible contains some of the most famous characters described in the written word. Some of them may have been real people, while others may have been amalgams of real people or inventions inspired by something else. There are, of course, some very famous biblical figures everyone knows, but many of them may be difficult to see in oneself.

People who proudly proclaim they identify with Jesus and see themselves as a contemporary version of him, for example, aren't usually very normal people. On the other hand, there are some figures who one could point to as being like Jesus, but who are very much like ordinary people as well. Some of them are paragons, and some are deeply flawed, but we see ourselves in them all the time.

Are you curious about which honorable biblical character you are like? You're not alone. With so many biblical figures capable of disappointing us with their behavior, it's hard to find one we can really point to as honorable, and then with such a large number of characters in the Bible, it's hard to say which ones are like us because there is so much to learn both from the biblical text and the commentaries on it. Take this quiz, and we'll do all the hard work for you.
