That word "Bible-minded"

I try not to post TOO many "you forgot about us mainline Protestants!" posts. The idea comes up almost daily when I'm going through the news and the blogs, but I know that kind of thing can get old so I try to set the bar pretty high.

If a person wanted to make this the focus of a blog, however, a person could do worse than to keep a close eye on the Barna Group. I've written before (just once. see?) about how much it bugs me that a research firm peddling its findings to the news media would define my faith tradition in almost entirely negative terms. Last month, Barna presented the results of its annual survey on "The Most and Least Bible-Minded Cities in the U.S." (The short version: the South is a lot Biblier than the Northeast.)

Here's how Barna measures relative Bibleocity: "Respondents who report reading the Bible within the past seven days and who agree [sic] strongly in the accuracy of the Bible are classified as 'Bible Minded.'"
