From Library Journal:

Barna's facts or indicators come from 28 nationwide telephone surveys conducted by his own Barna Research Group. Although he admits that it is impossible to provide a brief and simple categorization of American spirituality, Barna nonetheless gives us a close approximation. He explicitly aims to fill in the gap with regard to spirituality in William Bennet's Index of Leading Cultural Indicators (S. & S., 1994). Barna's surveys reveal 98 percent of adults believe God exists, 30 percent agree that they have an obligation to tell others of their religious beliefs, and 58 percent believe that Satan is a symbolic figure. Along with such statistics, Barna provides brief commentaries drawn from a variety of sources. The emphasis is on Christianity, an approach that Barna maintains is sociologically correct. His work contains important and interesting reference for various types of libraries.?John Moryl, Yeshiva Univ. Libs., New York
