Bible Groups Form Alliance Aimed at Reviving Bible Reading
“[American Bible Society and Scripture Union/USA ] have joined forces to fight the decline of Bible engagement in America, where 76 percent of people identify themselves as Christian but only 46 percent say they read the Bible in a given a week outside of church.” More
i don’t know where the 46% figure came from or how the statistic is declining. i tried to look on gallup’s website, and the only relavent thing i found was ” http://www.gallup.com/poll/2416/six-ten-americans-read-bible-least-occa…] Six in Ten Americans Read Bible at Least Occasionally ” from 2000, which says: “…the percentage of frequent readers, that is, those who read the Bible at least once a week, has decreased slightly over the last decade, from 40% in 1990 to 37% today.”
anyway, here’s the e100 website with a few more details about the program:
