"We will not believe
more than we know, and we will not live higher than our beliefs.
While America’s
evangelical Christians are rightly concerned about the secular worldview’s
rejection of biblical Christianity, we ought to give some urgent attention to a
problem much closer to home-biblical illiteracy in the church. This scandalous problem is our own, and it’s
up to us to fix it.
Researchers George
Gallup and Jim Castelli put the problem squarely: “Americans revere the
Bible-but, by and large, they don’t read it.
And because they don’t read it, they have become a nation of biblical
illiterates.” How bad is it? Researchers tell us that it’s worse than most
could imagine.
