Generation Z adults, Black Americans mark increases in Bible engagementNearly 6 in 10 Americans say they are “disengaged” from the Bible — the largest percentage in 14 years, according to a recent survey by the American Bible Society.
But 21% of Generation Z have increased their Bible usage, more than twice the rate of decrease in the age group. And 54% of that cohort said the Bible “has transformed their lives.” Mr. Plake, chief program officer of the American Bible Society, called the increased response of Gen Z adults to the Scriptures “a reason for hope.”
By contrast, 42% of mainline Protestants and 60% of Catholics said they are not engaged with Scripture. However, the mainline adherents increased their level of Scripture engagement from 19% to 25%.
