A Second Look at the Bible Reading Habits of the NCU Community: Motivations for Faith

For ACE Day this study will be a second look at the Bible Reading habits of the NCU community. The previous study used a survey to gather data of the same nature. However, the 2014 data analysis was conducted under the business Statistics Course (MTH 315) that limited the scope of the study. The present study looks deeper at several critical dynamics of the NCU community and Bible reading such as the motivations for faith and subsequent Bible reading.

Bible Reading Habits of Faculty, Staff, and Students at NCU

Reading the bible is an essential part of the Christian life, weather one pastors a church, or pastors a home, regardless if one is an undergraduate, a graduate, a faculty or a staff member: the bible delivers the guidance a Christian needs. In a 2014 study conducted by the American Bible Institute, a sample of 2,036 showed 53% read their bible 3-4 times per year. Of that 53% the twenty nine percent who reported to read at least 45 minutes per sitting were non-Christian adults. We look at the demographic at NCU to determine how often those affiliated with a Christian liberal arts University are reading the Bible.
