The White House says President Trump will join a week-long marathon reading of the entire Bible in Washington, organized by America Reads the Bible, positioning faith at the center of his public agenda.

Trump will also record a Bible verse from the Oval Office for delivery on April 21 as part of the event, underscoring the administration’s push to weave religion into official business.

The reading series is led by conservative activists and linked to America Reads the Bible, with Trump as a central participant alongside other conservative and evangelical figures.

Observers including scholars like Matthew D. Taylor note the II Chronicles passage’s prominence in the religious-right framing of national faith and policy.

Historically, Evangelical support for the verse ties into calls for divine blessing on the United States, a narrative echoed by figures such as Anne Graham Lotz.

Participants include high-profile Republicans and evangelical leaders, such as Marco Rubio and Pete Hegseth, while organizers say Democratic lawmakers are not represented.

The broader backdrop includes ongoing religious influence in the administration, with public prayers and religious rhetoric intersecting with foreign policy tensions, notably around Iran.

Trump will read 2 Chronicles 7:11-22, including verse 14, which centers on humility, prayer, turning to God, and healing the land.

The core verse 2 Chronicles 7:14 is highlighted as central to the narrative, emphasizing repentance and divine healing for the nation.

The piece frames Trump’s use of religious language in governance as comparable to past presidents, while cautioning that faith should not be read as a mandate for national policy.

The White House is presenting the event as an honor to Holy Scripture and a renewal of faith in America.

Trump recorded his segment from the Oval Office, reading from II Chronicles as part of the national-repentance and divine-blessing storyline.
