Which church asks people to study? You can simply start going to a church and no one will bat an eye. I’ve met Christians who couldn’t even read, and even the ones that can have a very limited interest in reading what they consider to be the most important book there is. As a general rule just as a casual reader I’ve read more of the bible than the average Christian, I definitely can’t say the same about Jews since they point out that I didn’t read it in Hebraic and usually know it better than I do.
