Chapter 1
The Problem and Its Setting
Introduction
In this generation, bible is the least common book that
the youth and people read. For instance, bible is a
Christian scripture wherein it consists of 66 books of more
than 40 authors during of a period approximately about 1,
500 A.C. from the old testaments to the new ones, this kind
of scriptural book include “to rah” or law of the Prophets
and “hagriographa” or writings. Moreover, the word “bible”
comes from “biblia” in Latin and “biblos” in Greek a term
mean book or books. Indeed, the bible is holy, God-inspired
and is the oldest book in existence.
In contrast to other religious writings, the Bible
reads as a realistic story of real events, places, people,
and dialogue. Historians and archaeologists have repeatedly
confirmed its realism. The Bible is an unparalleled love
letter to the people of God (Toni Reinke, 2014). With the
authors' own writing styles, God shows who He is and what it
is like to know Him.
The Bible not only inspires, it explains life and God
to the people. It does not answer all questions that many
people might have, but enough of them. It shows how to live
with purpose and concern. It encourages people to rely on
God for strength, direction, and enjoy his love for all. The
Bible also tells how we can have everlasting life.

Although this book has been said as a respected
collection and needed to be known by all people as well as
the new generation, most of them intend to ignore it. Many
Christians find the daily habit of bible reading difficult.
Most people find bible-reading confusing (Reinke, 2014).
Stephen Wadsworth argues that bible is such a chore for the
many simple facts that it demands as much as it gives,
bestows promises, and also commands obedience.
It empowers and humbly offers rest and demand
sacrifice, it blesses and it curses, extends grace and
guarantees judgment. Indeed, there is no other piece of
literature classic or otherwise called living and active
than the bible. No novel or biography is declared to have
the power to divide soul and spirit, joints, and marrow.
People can’t live without the Bible. It is the most
relevant book in the world (John Piper, 2014). David Mathis
stated that Bible Reading Is an Art.

Significance of the study
The researchers conduct this study to know what will
be the factors that cause the youth not to read the holy
book and their own feeling, opinions, or thoughts. The study
will help persuade and encourage the youth and attract their
hearts.
To the Youth- this study will help the generation’s
youth read the bible in a simple but meaningful way.
To the Priests- the results of the study will help
the priests to have strong willingness to improve and
strengthen the youth’s communication to God.

have determination and encouragement in their children to be
engaged in bible reading.
