GUEST: Dr. Stephen Nichols, Ligonier Ministries
Theology is defined as “the study of the nature of God and religious beliefs.” So “what do Americans believe about God, salvation, ethics, and the Bible?”
That is how Ligonier Ministries frames The State of Theology survey that they and LifeWay Research partner together to produce every two years.

The survey made 35 theological statements to over 3,000 respondents of differing backgrounds and regions. Respondents could answer “strongly agree, somewhat agree, not sure, somewhat disagree, or strongly disagree”.
Here are a few examples of the theological statements in the survey:
