073 The Bible in Early America
Description
What role did the Bible play in the development of British North America and the early United States?
How did the settlement of numerous religious groups in the thirteen American colonies affect the politics and religion of both the colonies and early United States?
Today, we address these questions by exploring the place of the Bible in early America. Our guide for this exploration is Mark Noll, the Francis A. McAnaney Professor of History at the University of Notre Dame and the author of In the Beginning Was the Word The Bible in American Public Life, 1492-1783.
