A new survey shows that "Christians are tending to read the Bible more and for longer during the pandemic and for those who do it is having a positive impact on their mental health, well being, and hope in the future."
The findings come in a survey in the United Kingdom for Bible Society, carried out by Christian Research.
Over 1,000 Christians were polled on how their faith and devotional habits have been impacted throughout the last year. Participants are all practising Christians, attending a church service and reading the Bible at least monthly.
Over one-third of respondents (35 per cent) say their Bible reading has increased, while only 5 per cent reported a decrease.
