Matt Bevin, governor of Kentucky. Elected in November of 2015.

Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin has declared 2017 to be the "Year of the Bible," which was the same designation he gave this year.

Governor Bevin stated on Monday that the upcoming year should be another "Year of the Bible," quoting from past United States presidents to justify his proclamation.

"After President Abraham Lincoln was presented a Bible on September 7, 1864 by the Loyal Colored People of Baltimore, he replied, 'The Bible is the best gift God has ever given to man'," reads the proclamation in part.

"President Ronald Reagan's 1983 Year of the Bible Proclamation stated, 'Of the many influences that have shaped the United States into a distinctive nation and people, none may be said to be more fundamental and enduring than the Bible.'"
