State of the
BIBLE
WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?
State of the Bible 2023 has uncovered some challenging trends. But there are indicators of hope, too. For thirteen years, America has relied on State of the Bible for insights into our relationship with God, faith, and the Bible.
What's the State of the Bible in 2023?
American Bible Society is in its thirteenth year of conducting State of the Bible, asking American people their opinions and practices relating to the Bible.
- Do people consider the Bible God’s Word? If so, what does that mean to them?
- Does the Bible shape their daily decisions? In what ways?
- How does Scripture impact their relationship with God or their spiritual growth?
- How often do they read the Bible? And how do they choose what to read?
- How do people of different ages, genders, races, education, or religions respond to all these questions? Are there regional differences?
- How do those who engage with the Bible differ from those who don’t?
- And what’s the trend line?
Through these findings, we hope State of the Bible will help provide some direction for your biblical ministry as you respond to the needs of the people you serve.
