More Bible reading results in a greater level of loving and generous behavior, according to the just--released 15th annual State of the Bible report by the American Bible Society (ABS), the Christian Daily website reports today (Nov. 11, 2025).
Latest findings come from a nationally representative survey for ABS by NORC at the University of Chicago, using their AmeriSpeak panel. it involved 2,656 online interviews with American adults in all 50 states and the District of Columbia with data collected from Jan.2--21. 2025.
A press release for "Chapter 8: Love and Generosity" revealed that new data shows the impact of loving behavior , defined as pro--social behavior, toward others and "generosity of time, energy, and finances based on Scripture engagement, denomination, generation, and various other demographics."
"The correlation between Scripture engagement and loving behavior and generosity is udeniaeble. The more people engage in Scripture, the more likely they are to give of their time, talents, and treasures, and to act lovingly toward their neighbors," said John Plake, Chief Innovation Officer at Ameeican Bible Society and editor--in--chief of the State of the Bible series.
"Our thoughts, behaviors, and words reflect what we consume and what fills our hearts and minds. It is only logical that when we fill our minds with Scripture -- the greatest love story ever told -- an outpouring of love will follow."
