Why Gen Z Students Are Drawn to the King James Bible
Original: Opinion | Why My Gen Z Students Are Fascinated by the King James Bible
A New York Times opinion piece reports that Gen Z college students are showing unexpected fascination with the King James Bible. The author, a teacher, describes students drawn to its archaic language, literary grandeur and cultural weight, treating the 1611 translation as a foundational text worth reading rather than a relic.
Why now: The trend runs counter to expectations of declining religious and classical literacy among young people, prompting debate about Gen Z's cultural interests.
