Alas for the American Bible Society, it turns out, according to a survey released today, that despite the Bible's 2,000 verses about money and possessions:
I'd say small wonder on that last one, a kind of mean little proverb to reflect on when the social safety net is weak and so many are unemployed...

Lamar Vest, president of American Bible Society, is flipping the results into good news, however, in a press release touting a new study Bible, The Financial Stewardship Bible. It highlights those verses, enhanced with study notes on earning, spending, investing, debt, bankruptcy, cosigning, inheritance and saving for retirement.
The book is published by Compass-Finances God's Way. The survey was conducted online among 2,262 U.S. adults.
