In 2011, American Bible Society launched a landmark annual study of the State of the Bible in America. This is our fifteenth consecutive year of listening and learning how consistent interaction with the Bible shapes people’s choices and transforms their relationships.

In 2025 we’ve found reasons for hope! More people opened the Bible last year than in any of the previous three years, with 110 million Americans now qualifying as Bible users and new interest from unexpected audiences.

We measure Bible use and Scripture engagement along with other topics
related to the Bible, several of them new to this year’s report:
• Digital Bible Use
• The Bible Around the World
• Human Flourishing
• Church Engagement
• Identity Formation and Emerging Adulthood
• Trust, Faith, and the Bible
• Bible Engagement and Self-Care
• Love and Generosity

People are reconsidering the Bible and their faith. How can your church or ministry prepare to invite, welcome, and walk alongside them? In these pages we offer actionable insights to prepare your ministry for this new wave of interest in the Bible.
