My purpose in Bible805 is to help you know, trust, apply, and teach the Bible.
I know personally from many years of teaching how little many people in our world today know nothing about the Bible, but even then, though I deal with this all the time, I was shocked with the results of these studies that were done last year in 2025. The two studies that both measured current Bible literacy in the U.S. are:
A 2025 study by the National Bible Literacy Project
The 2025 State of the Bible by the American Bible Society
Below I’ll share 6 facts from the studies and then a few closing comments. You can either listen to them, or read them below the podcast.
