Author An American Bible A history of the Good Book in the United States, 1777-1880 Paul C. Gutjahr U.S.A. Stanford University Press 1999 256tr. Hardcover, illustrations, maps 25cm This book examines how many different constituencies (both secular and religious) fought to keep the Bible the preeminent text in the United States as the country's print marketplace experienced explosive growth. 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.
