Bible literacy

Bible literacy refers to the ability to understand, interpret, and engage with the content and themes of the Bible, recognizing its historical and cultural contexts. It encompasses knowledge of key stories, characters, and teachings, as well as familiarity with its structure, including the Old and New Testaments. Beyond religious significance, Bible literacy contributes to understanding many aspects of Western literature, art, history, and ethics, as the Bible has profoundly influenced various societal values and beliefs. It enables individuals to engage in discussions about moral and philosophical questions that are often rooted in biblical narratives.
