About this book

American Worldview Inventory 2023-2025: The Annual Report on the State of Worldview in the United States by Dr. George BarnaThe American Worldview Inventory 2023-2025 offers a sweeping, data-driven examination of the shifting spiritual foundations of American life. Drawing on two years of in-depth national research conducted by the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University, veteran researcher and bestselling author Dr. George Barna uncovers the hidden currents reshaping what Americans believe-and how they live.This groundbreaking report goes far beyond simple statistics. It provides vital insight into the collapse of traditional faith structures, the growing confusion about truth and morality, and the profound implications for families, churches, and the nation's future. Through clear analysis and compelling commentary, Barna highlights five key areas of concern-and one path forward: Faith Fallout from COVID - The pandemic didn't just disrupt church attendance; it accelerated an already-declining spiritual engagement, pushing millions further from organized religion and biblical teaching. Loss of Biblical Worldview - The number of Americans who both think and live according to biblical principles continues to plummet, with even self-identified Christians adopting contradictory beliefs. Evangelicals Redefined - Once considered the most consistent defenders of biblical truth, evangelicals are revealed to be far more diverse-and divided-than expected in their faith commitments, political affiliations, and cultural influence. Worldview and Mental Health - A striking correlation between the loss of biblical worldview and rising levels of anxiety, depression, and despair raises urgent questions about the role of faith in human flourishing. Seven Cornerstones of Faith - As the nation searches for moral clarity and spiritual direction, Barna presents a hopeful, research-informed framework for rebuilding a biblical worldview-beginning with seven foundational beliefs. Whether you're a church leader, educator, policymaker, or concerned citizen, American Worldview Inventory 2023-2025 equips you with the knowledge and insight needed to understand today's faith crisis-and to help lead the way toward a spiritual renewal grounded in biblical truth.
