America’s Book: The Rise and Decline of a Bible Civilization, 1794–1911
Explore the formative role of the Bible in shaping American culture with America’s Book, a landmark historical study by renowned historian Mark A. Noll. This compelling volume traces how Scripture influenced public life, politics, education, and national identity from the post‑Revolutionary era through the early twentieth century. Noll examines the growth of Bible societies, the spread of biblical literacy, and the ways Scripture became a powerful cultural force—uniting, inspiring, and at times dividing communities. With rich detail and groundbreaking scholarship, this book provides a sweeping narrative of how a “Bible civilization” emerged, flourished, and eventually transformed in the face of social, political, and religious change.
