After

slipping to second place

in 2015, Chattanooga has once again claimed its title as the most Bible-minded city in America, a title it

held for three consecutive years

before last year, according to a new study.

The study, conducted by the Barna Group in partnership with the American Bible Society, is based on interviews with 65,064 adults over a 10-year period and is intended to explore engagement with scripture in America’s largest 100 media markets.

Individuals who report reading the Bible in a typical week and who strongly assert the Bible is accurate in the principles it teaches are defined as being “Bible-minded,” according to the Barna Group.
