In this latest post, which he shared to his personal X account, the “Toy Story” star revealed he has nearly finished reading the Old Testament in the Jerusalem Bible, a Catholic translation of the Scriptures. He is planning to begin reading through the New Testament next.
“Never took the time in all my years to ever read and really read the Bible,” he wrote. “Currently almost through the Jerusalem Bible Old Testament and almost done with the Prophets. Next up to New Testament. So far amazing and not at all what I was expecting.”
Allen has not shied away from talking about his Christian beliefs.
The celebrity said in 2022 he wanted faith to be central to the Disney+ series “The Santa Clauses,” a spinoff of the 1990s movie, “The Santa Clause,” in which Allen famously portrayed Santa Claus.
As CBN News reported at the time, Allen told The Wrap that the original plot line of the show featured some themes he didn’t like. Rather, he wanted the Christian story to have a principal role in the series.
