Understanding our context locally, regionally, nationally and globally informs all of our mission. Two world-leading research projects are providing information that will resource churches in the UK and worldwide.
The Patmos Survey: mapping the Bible around the world
Bible Society has worked with Gallup on a global research project to map attitudes to the Bible around the world. Named after John’s visions in Revelation, which diagnosed spiritual conditions in local contexts, the survey has already begun to produce insights that will shape conversations and equip churches for a generation.
Lumino: understanding belief in England and Wales
Working with YouGov, Bible Society conducted a huge survey into the spiritual landscape of people in England and Wales, focusing on people’s attitudes toward Christianity, the Bible and faith. This landmark survey provides a crucial mission tool for church leaders who want to understand their local community and how to engage with it.
Bible Society has an active research programme run by a highly qualified team. We undertake original research to offer insights into the nature of faith today, its role in people's lives and its impact across society, and we resource churches and Christian leaders to apply these insights to their mission.
