Read an interesting quote: “The churches in America face no greater challenge than overcoming biblical illiteracy and the prospects for doing so are formidable because the stark fact is, many Christians dont know what they believe or why. Our faith is not rooted in Scripture. We revere the Bible but dont read it.” —George Gallup, Jr. I concur with the comment. So I teach at a Mennonite University and am amazed by how few students have a grasp of the biblical stories (except for a few common ones) or major biblical themes. Most will have heard about the Sermon on the Mount, but their eyes glaze over when the writings of Paul or Peter are mentioned. Thankfully there are exceptions to this and some students are serious bible readers and study it. May their tribe increase!
