"In Australia, frequent Bible reading is the practice of a small group (between 3% and 5%) of young people. This is predominantly a sub-group of those who are involved in Evangelical and Pentecostal churches and youth groups, and those who come from families which encourage the practice."

This 53-page report by the Christian Research Association in Australia presents an in depth survey of Bible engagement among 13-24 year olds. It includes statistics on regular Bible reading, attitudes of young people to the content of the Bible, barriers to Bible engagement, major influences on young people, as well as proposing the following recommendations:

1. Focus on building youth groups and Bible study groups
2. Develop materials for occasional readers and the curious
3. Work with families in encouraging Bible engagement
4. Explore relevant forms of communication and community for encouraging Bible engagement
