Early Americans have long been considered "A People of the Book"
Because the nickname was coined primarily to invoke close
associations between Americans and the Bible, it is easy to
overlook the central fact that it was a book-not a geographic
location, a monarch, or even a shared language-that has served as a
cornerstone in countless investigations into the formation and
fragmentation of early American culture. Few books can lay claim to
such powers of civilization-altering influence. Among those which
can are sacred books, and for Americans principal among such books
stands the Bible. This Handbook is designed to address a noticeable
void in resources focused on analyzing the Bible in America in
various historical moments and in relationship to specific
institutions and cultural expressions. It takes seriously the fact
that the Bible is both a physical object that has exercised
considerable totemic power, as well as a text with a powerful
intellectual design that has inspired everything from national
religious and educational practices to a wide spectrum of artistic
endeavors to our nation's politics and foreign policy. This
Handbook brings together a number of established scholars, as well
as younger scholars on the rise, to provide a scholarly
overview-rich with bibliographic resources-to those interested in
the Bible's role in American cultural formation.
