Answers To BR Quiz #3 Paintings-of-the-Bible

015

Our third BR “Win-a-Free-Trip-to-the-Holy Land Quiz,” featuring paintings of the Bible, proved a little tougher than the previous Plants of the Bible and Animals of the Bible quizzes. Only 11 readers at press time had submitted correct identifications and Bible quotes for the four paintings featured in the Winter 1986 BR. These 11 join 108 correct entries from the previous quizzes.

After answers to this issue’s fourth—AND FINAL—quiz have been received, we will draw the name of our lucky winner from a pool containing the correct submissions from all four quizzes. The person whose name is drawn will receive round-trip air-fare from New York City to Israel, plus $500.
