“Biblical illiteracy is not only a contemporary trend. Many people today think they know the Bible, or know facts about the Bible, and therefore consider themselves ‘spiritual’. But the problem with this so-called ‘spirituality’ is that they meld their ideas from other religions and lump the Bible in with them. Not to mention this concept of keeping one’s faith to oneself, because ‘living and preaching faith publicly is not culturally acceptable’. The main problem with biblical illiteracy, then, isn’t only out there in the Church, it’s also out there in the world. People may know lots of Bible facts and stories, but they don’t see those stories as having a unified whole in Christ, as the Bible teaches. Biblical illiteracy abounds like a wildfire raging.”
