Which Old Testament book has only one chapter?

• A. Obadiah
• B. Jonah
• C. Nahum
• D. Joel

Answer: (A)

The key idea is recognizing how many chapters a book has. Obadiah is a short prophetic book that exists in a single chapter, typically about 21 verses long in most translations, so its message is contained in one continuous block rather than being spread across multiple chapters. In contrast, the other books listed are longer: Jonah spans four chapters, Nahum has three, and Joel also has three. That makes Obadiah the only one-chapter book among the options.
