Barna has done another very interesting and important survey concerning changes in Worldview among Christians over the past 13 years
In the survey, Barna gives this definition of a “Biblical worldview”:
“For the purposes of the survey, a “biblical worldview” was defined as believing that absolute moral truth exists; the Bible is totally accurate in all of the principles it teaches; Satan is considered to be a real being or force, not merely symbolic; a person cannot earn their way into Heaven by trying to be good or do good works; Jesus Christ lived a sinless life on earth; and God is the all-knowing, all-powerful creator of the world who still rules the universe today. In the research, anyone who held all of those beliefs was said to have a biblical worldview.”
Amazingly, the results of the Barna survey revealed that
“...only 9% of all American adults have a biblical worldview... “
“... of ‘born again Christians’ less than one out of every five (19%) had a Biblical Worldview.”
“... one pattern emerged loud and clear: young adults rarely possess a biblical worldview.
“...less than one-half of one percent of adults in the Mosaic generation – i.e., those aged 18 to 23 – have a biblical worldview, compared to about one out of every nine older adults.”
This is all truly astounding and is a key to understanding the seismic shift that has occurred in the morals, ethics, etc. that we see all around us.
