What’s the State of the Bible in 2024?
For 14 years, American Bible Society has reported on the State of the Bible by investigating Americans’ relationship with God, faith, and the Bible. In this year’s report, we will highlight some key trends and explore important questions like:
- How do people choose to incorporate the Bible into their daily lives?
- Does the Bible shape their daily decisions? In what ways?
- How does spiritual health impact levels of stress and hope?
- Has our approach to the Bible changed after the pandemic? If so, how?
- What aspects of church culture cause people to feel welcome? What aspects cause people to leave?
- How has the proportion of in-person and online church attendance changed?
- What do people think about artificial intelligence?
- How do people choose to incorporate the Bible into their daily lives?
New this year, we’ll feature interviews with thought leaders whose insights will take readers beyond the data. We hope State of the Bible provides direction and encouragement for you and the people you serve.
