On Bibical Literacy

Does it ever concern you when a friend really has no idea about Biblical concepts like love and charity? Does it surprise you that they do not know who Moses is, or that their only exposure to "Jesus" is when they pass by a manger scene around Christmas?

BibleLIteracy.Org is a group dedicated to bringing back biblical literacy to schools, not in the name of religious indoctrination. But rather in order to promote cultural and historical understanding. After all, when the hottest conflicts in the world are taking place in Jerusalem between Jews and Muslims and overseen by Christians, all over their interpretation of scripture's view of the role of a Holy City, can someone really understand the issues without understanding the Bible?
