St. Mel boosts bible reading
• Christian Pop Culture
Effect of The Passion of the Christ among evangelical Christians:
A survey of 300 such Christians taken last month by Wilson Research Strategies, of McLean, Va., found that 87 percent had seen the film or planned to. Another survey last month by the Web site Beliefnet found that 62 percent of the 12,000 respondents said they were reading the Bible more because of the movie.
