Bible crossword puzzle 23: Hebrews, James, 1 and 2 Peter, and Jude
Based on material in chapters 29 and 30 of Discovering the Bible by Alex
Varughese, textbook for Introduction to Biblical Literature
Challenge: Can you solve this puzzle even if you do not have the book by
Varughese?
ACROSS
- 1 -- A book written by the brother of Jesus in which an emphasis on good deeds is
seen as an important part of the Christian life; true faith is seen as being manifested in works
- 6 -- This is what Hebrews says that Jesus Christ is as well being the High Priest who
presides over it
- 7 -- A brief New Testament book that addresses a situation of apostasy and
then concludes with a beautiful doxology
- 9 -- The author of two New Testament letters, both of which include warnings about
heresies and heretical teachers. The first of those letters calls on believers to live a holy life
because the God who has called them is a holy God. As is the case with Paul's second letter to
Timothy, this "second" letter seems to be the writer's farewell speech before his soon-expected
death.
DOWN
- 2 -- The falling away from one's former beliefs
- 3 -- A way in which the Bible (including 2 Peter) refers to the Second Coming of
Christ
- 4 -- The book of the Bible in which faith is defined and in which Jesus is presented
as a heavenly High Priest who is the Mediator of the new covenant/ Christianity is shown to be
superior to the ancient traditions of Judaism
- 5 -- A designation for those New Testament letters that were written for an
audience larger than just one particular church or person
- 8 -- The chapter in Hebrews that contains several examples of Old Testament people
with faith (the "Faith Hall of Fame")
This crossword puzzle was created for use in the course Introduction to Biblical Literature.
The words and clues come from the textbook Discovering the Bible: Story and Faith of the
Biblical Communities edited by Alex Varughese and published by Beacon Hill Press of
Kansas City, now called The Foundry.
