A new study from the Pew Research Center shows that Mormons score
among the highest of all religion groups in their knowledge of
Christianity, the Bible and other religious information. The
nationwide poll of 3,412 individuals was conducted in May and June of
this year. While the study showed that "large numbers of Americans are
uninformed about the tenets, practices, history and leading figures of
major faith traditions — including their own," there were positive
findings.
In the study, Mormons scored higher than any other group in questions
about the Bible and Christianity. Church members are often asked
whether Latter-day Saints use the Bible. The Bible is one of the
foundational volumes of scripture used in The Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter-day Saints. It is used in conjunction with other scriptures,
including the Book of Mormon.
