For countless Americans, scripture has opened a doorway to the personal experience of God. The Bible has also functioned as a guide to life, sometimes with liberating or comic effects and sometimes with oppressive or tragic results. This book provides a survey of the relationship between the Bible and public issues from the beginning of European settlement through the American Revolution. 000757203 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from home page (viewed on March 8, 2016). 000757203 63000 $$aBible.$$lEnglish$$xHistory. 000757203 63000 $$aBible$$xInfluence. 000757203 650_0 $$aBible and politics$$zUnited States$$xHistory. 000757203 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xChurch history. 000757203 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aNoll, Mark A., 1946-$$tIn the beginning was the word.$$dNew York ; Oxford : Oxford University Press, 2016$$z9780190263980$$w(DLC) 2015009982 000757203 85280 $$bebk$$hOxford Scholarship Online 000757203 85640 $$3Oxford scholarship online$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780190263980.001.0001$$zOnline Access 000757203 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:757203$$pGLOBAL_SET 000757203 980__ $$aEBOOK 000757203 980__ $$aBIB 000757203 982__ $$aEbook 000757203 983__ $$aOnline
