A teacher in New England quizzed a group of college-bound high school juniors and seniors on their knowledge of the Bible. The answers were astounding. Some of their responses to the questions showed that they believed that "Sodom and Gomorrah were lovers;" "Jezebel was Ahab's donkey;" and the New Testament gospels were written by Matthew, Mark, Luther and John." Some of the answers given were "Eve was created from an apple;" and, "Jesus was baptized by Moses."
However, quite possibly the most astounding answer given was given by a student who ranked in the top 5 percent of his class. When asked, "What is Golgotha?" The student replied, "Golgotha is the name of the giant who slew the apostle David."
A recent Gallup poll revealed that 82 percent of Americans believe that the Bible is the literal, inspired Word of God. 51 percent have never read the Bible; and, of the 33 percent that claim to read the Bible, half could not name the 4 gospels.
George Barna conducted a survey among professing Christians, and the results were astounding. Among professing Christians, 18 percent (2 out of 10) read the Bible every day; and, even worse, 25 percent (1 out of 4) have never read the Bible.
In this book, called The Bible, God has given His final Word to man. It is a reliable book, and it is a relevant book. It is a book that is completely true, and it is a book that is constantly true.
The Bible is a book that has one theme that is expressed in many different ways ...
