After all the very visible fighting about public displays of religious symbols‹ from 10 Commandments plaques to graveyard crosses to faith-themed war memorials to holiday manger displays‹you might have developed the impression that most Americans don¹t think the Bible matters today and they like it that way.

You¹d be wrong.

There is a lot of speculation about both the current role and the appropriate role of the Bible in America. But each year, American Bible Society puts the guessing aside and asks a sampling of Americans to tell us how they view and use the Bible and what they believe its role should be in America.  Recently, American Bible Society released this year¹s results from that research in the 2012 State of the Bible report.

The State of the Bible in America in 2012 can be summed up in a two words: encouraging and unsettling.
