"Project Runway"---Biblical Edition Quiz

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Today on a very special "Project Runway", we have Biblical figures showing off their clothing. First up from 2 Timothy (KJV) is Paul. Paul is wearing a _____ that was brought back to him from Troas. What item of clothing is Paul showing off on the runway?

Answer: Cloak

A cloak is a cape made of a heavy material such as wool. It can be used to fend off rain in the daytime and cold weather at night. In 2 Timothy 4:13 (KJV), Paul wore a cloak that was brought back to him from Troas by Timothy. Paul loaned it to an honest man named Carpus while he was staying in Troas. Timothy would have had to have made a 600-mile-long trip from Troas to Rome in order to give Paul his cloak.

2. Following Paul is Jesus Christ. Jesus is sporting a robe of _______ that was given to him by the Roman soldiers in the Gospel of John 19 (KJV). What color robe is Jesus Christ showing for the "Project Runway" judges?

Answer: Purple

In John 19:2, Jesus was given a purple robe that the Roman soldiers gave him to wear before being crucified. Along with the purple robe, Jesus is given a crown of thorns to wear on his head. The purple robe Jesus wore had no seam and was perfectly woven together. Purple was the color of royalty and was used as a mocking tool by the soldiers. (Matthew describes the robe as scarlet, but this question refers to John's description.)

3. Our next runway model is Adam. Adam shocked the female judges and several male judges by wearing only a _______ down the runway. It was the same clothing choice he made in Genesis 3 (KJV). What is Adam sporting?

Answer: Fig leaf

In Genesis 3:7 (KJV), Adam sewed fig leaves together to wear as clothing. Adam used the fig leaf as a way to hide his nakedness from God. Adam didn't realize his natural state until he and Eve sinned against God. Only then was Adam aware that he was naked. It is not mentioned how many fig leaves Adam used to cover his nakedness from God.

Answer: Coat of many colors

Joseph's coat of many colors written about in Genesis 37:3 (KJV) has been one of dispute among theologians. Many theologists say that the coat of many colors was merely a coat made up of a ragtag assortment of material put together to make a coat. Others say the coat of many colors was just a long coat striped of the same material in different shades.

9. Aaron is our next model on "Project Runway" coming straight from the Old Testament. Today, he is showing off the coat he wore in Exodus 28 (KJV) with what other accessory?

Answer: Needlework girdle

In Biblical times, girdles were worn by men and women. Girdles were normally made of leather, but a linen girdle was of finer quality and only for those of higher birth. The girdle was used to hold up coats or long flowing garments to keep them out of the way when men or women were doing strenuous work.

A girdle with needlework was done only on the outside. Needlework on both sides of a girdle was known as cunning work. The girdle that Aaron wore was mentioned in Exodus 28:38-39 (KJV).

10. Finishing up the "Project Runway" Biblical Edition is a runway model wearing a linen cloth. The model never gave his name.
