'Back to the Bible' encourages Christians to dig into God's Wordn

Woodrow Kroll of Back to the Bible says a new survey shows biblical illiteracy is one of the biggest problems facing the Church in America. According to the Christian ministry president, research shows that the average American owns three copies of the Bible, but doesn't read any of them.

Kroll, commenting on the issue of Bible illiteracy during an interview on Mission Network News, noted that an increase of modern translations of the Bible appears not to have resulted in more people reading God's Word, as Bible translators had hoped would happen.
