Download Melton`s March - Bible Baptist Publications

Melton’s March is a trivia challenge consisting of over 300 Bible related questions. The
questions are based on the writings of James L. Melton that are posted on our website
(www.biblebaptistpublications.org). The questions are basically the same as those given
to the young folks who climb Melton’s Mountain, except that the Melton’s March
questions are given to adults all at once rather than in three separate levels. Also, the
graphics have been omitted, and there are no prizes given, only a certificate of honor
upon completion. We feel that serious Christian adults can appreciate the merits of a
challenging Bible study without the benefit of prizes.
Some of the questions will be rather easy, while others will offer you a significant
challenge. All in all, Melton’s March should prove to be a good learning experience for
anyone who takes the challenge.
Students of the Whole Bible Institute can complete Melton’s March and earn fifty credit
hours, but only after the initial Romans study has been completed. WBI students who
have used the 50 Melton’s Mountain credit hours may earn only 25 credit hours with
Melton’s March.
