Recent research from the Barna Group indicates that younger individuals are leading a revival in church attendance, with Millennials attending an average of 1.8 times per month and Gen Z churchgoers attending 1.9 times a month. This data represents an increase, with the average American adult attending 1.6 times a month, according to Barna. Additionally, weekly Bible reading among Gen Z adults surged from 30 percent in 2024 to 49 percent in 2025
Spiritual interest is on the rise, but it's not the same thing as spiritual understanding. The New Testament Study Guide from Betty Johansen addresses this gap, originating from classroom materials developed by Elizabeth Johansen, Betty Johansen's mother. The elder Johansen held a degree in religious education and taught Bible classes at a public high school, where her career centered on making scripture accessible to young learners. The workbooks she created a few years before retirement have since transitioned from teacher-created materials into published resources.
At the core of the study methodology is an inductive approach that emphasizes observation, interpretation, and application—a framework that fosters spiritual growth by encouraging readers to engage deeply with the text rather than passively consume devotional content. This method aligns with expert findings that effective Bible study balances textual grounding with practical life application, equipping learners to connect scriptural teachings with daily decisions and moral choices.
The New Testament resource complements Johansen's previously released Old Testament Study Guide, which features 65 structured lessons, creating a complete biblical curriculum for individuals and groups. Both guides are intentionally designed for high school students and younger adults, making them accessible entry points for new learners while remaining substantive enough for those seeking a deeper understanding.
In addition to Bible study guides, Johansen has also published historical fiction books for teenagers that highlight Biblical accounts, and uplifting novellas for teens and young adults. A selection of books on non-fiction topics round out the Wordsmith World catalog.
