Quote of the Day: Biblical Literacy

From Mark Dever, pastor of Capitol Hill Baptist Church, Washington, D.C.:

George Gallup reports that Americans revere the Bible, but they don’t read it. And because they don’t read it they have become a nation of Biblical illiterates. 4 Americans in 5 believe the Bible is the literal or inspired Word of God. And yet only 4 in 10 could tell you that it was Jesus who gave the Sermon on the Mount. And fewer than half can name the four Gospels.
