The author shows how these heated battles had profound consequences for many American cultural practices and forms of printed material. By exploring how publishers, clergymen, politicians, educators, and lay persons met the threat that new printed material posed to the dominance of the Bible by changing both its form and its contents, the author reveals the causes and consequences of mutating God's supposedly immutable Word.  aBible -- Publication and distribution  aBible -- History  aUnited States4 uhttps://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/13079/a.jpgyCover Image
