5 Resources to Help You Overcome Biblical Illiteracy
Thu, 01 May 2025 10:40:00 -0400
A troubling trend in the body of Christ today is that of biblical illiteracy. Although many profess to be Christians and love God, their knowledge of the Bible is minimal. Aside from understanding their favorite verses, they know nothing else concerning what the rest of Scripture has to say! When I consider this topic, I think of two things why there is biblical illiteracy: 1) believers are not consistent in the reading of the Scriptures, and 2) preachers who fail to preach the Scriptures rightly.Such consequences of biblical illiteracy can range from taking Scripture out of context to embracing false teaching. If anything, the two go hand in hand as false teaching distorts what God's Word says, even if Bible verses are used. Therefore, we must get back into consistent Bible reading so that we can grow in proper comprehension. Ultimately, Scripture helps us grow in the knowledge of who God is, especially as we desire to grow in our faith.That being said, here are resources that can help us tackle biblical illiteracy.Photo Credit: © Getty Images/RonTech2000
