Bible Readership Survey Highlights Responsibility of Christian Authors

The responsibility of meeting this need may fall partly on Christian authors and publishers, who annually release numerous books to help people nourish their spirituality. Their writings, while grounded in Bible teachings, can help shed light on contemporary issues that Scripture does not delve into. The youth may even find reading the works of established ministers like Bishop Leonard Scott to be a valuable supplement to attending religious services and Bible study sessions. Thankfully, they will not have to look far to find Christian songs and books, as digital publishing platforms have enabled all forms of religious texts to be readily available to people all over the world. Electronic editions of the Bible have even made it onto bestseller lists, reiterating that this book, indeed, is still sought-after today.

Museums and Musicians Continue to Honor and Revitalize Worship Music

Come 2015, everyone inspired by gospel and worship music may very well be heading to the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC). Priceless songs and ephemera from the Golden Age of Gospel will be featured at the museum, thanks to the Smithsonian's collaboration with Baylor University's Black Gospel Music Restoration Project. Under the leadership of Prof. Bob Darden, a former Billboard gospel editor, the project has been acquiring, preserving, and cataloging music in various tape formats produced between the 1940s and 1980s.
