Understanding the Bible in America
A recent survey suggests that many Americans would be more willing to study the Bible if it could be more palatably packaged and easier to understand.
Many readers found that the most difficult part of the Bible to read and understand is the creation account in Genesis. Their confidence in its narrative and teaching is not backed by personal knowledge and understanding.
The United Church of God has always been concerned about the growing gap between general belief in the Bible and real knowledge and understanding of its contents. That is why we have prepared and published two free booklets that will help make God's Word more plain and user-friendly. Please request Is the Bible True?, which addresses and explains the creation account, and How to Understand the Bible. (Source: The Washington Times.)
