From its place in schools, to the public square, to people\u2019s individual lives, the current and future role of the Bible in U.S. society is an often-debated topic. A new release from Barna Group shows how this debate plays out regionally and takes a look at how 96 of the largest cities in the nation view the Bible.<\/p>\n

The report ranks the most and least \u201cBible-minded\u201d cities by looking at how people in those cities view the Bible. The study is based on 42,855 interviews conducted nationwide and the analysis of Bible trends was commissioned by American Bible Society. Individuals who report reading the Bible in a typical week and who strongly assert the Bible is accurate in the principles it teaches are considered to be Bible-minded. This definition captures action and attitude\u2014those who both engage and esteem the Christian scriptures. The rankings thus reflect an overall openness or resistance to the Bible in the country\u2019s largest markets.
