A recent survey says that people are not reading their Bibles. Because of these recent findings, Logos Bible Software and Crossway Books is tackling this problem by giving away the English Standard Version made available on the Faithlife Study Bible app.
Despite most American households having four or more Bibles, here’s what research says about Bible reading by church attenders:
- 18–34% Rarely or never read the Bible
- 12% Felt confused the last time they read the Bible 11% Felt overwhelmed
- 40% Felt an “unfavorable emotion”
Survey respondents indicated that their top frustrations in reading the Bible include:
- 32% “I never have enough time”
- 12% “The language is difficult to relate to”
- 11% “I don’t feel excited about reading it”
“It’s not that the Bible has been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and not tried. Yet, according to the American Bible Society, three out of five people surveyed wished they read the Bible more.
Logos Bible Software, Faithlife, and Crossway Books want to help make that wish a reality by giving away not only the complete Faithlife Study Bible but also a free copy of the ESV, allowing readers to quickly dive into a $180 study Bible, anytime, anywhere.”
Here’s a closer look at the Faithlife Study Bible:
