Today, millions of people from all walks of life seek guidance, inspiration, entertainment, and answers from their own editions of the Bible. This illustrated book tells the story of what happened to the ancient set of writings we call the Bible during those thousand years. Anchoring the story in material evidence--hundreds of different translations and versions of the Bible--Lori Anne Ferrell discusses how the Bible has been endlessly retailored to meet the changing needs of religion, politics, and the reading public while retaining its special status as a sacred text.\u003cp\u003eFocusing on the English-speaking world, \u003ci\u003eThe Bible and the People\u003c\/i\u003e charts the extraordinary voyage of the Bible from manuscript Bibles to the Gutenberg volumes, Bibles commissioned by kings and queens, the Eliot Indian Bible, salesmen's door-to-door Bibles, children's Bibles, Gideon Bibles, teen magazine Bibles, and more. Ferrell discusses the Bible's profound impact on readers over the centuries, and, in turn, the mark those readers made upon it. Enjoyable and informative, this book takes a fresh look at the fascinating and little-recognized connections among Christian, political, and book history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lori Anne Ferrell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300114249\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300114249\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.44h x 6.48w x 0.96d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/27\/2008 pg. 12\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/15\/2008 pg. 133\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/15\/2008 pg. 7\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2009","brand":"Lori Anne Ferrell","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064819527935,"sku":"9780300114249","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fbdf6749-5c1c-4dd5-bff3-361cb0ad06cb.jpg?v=1768671243","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-bible-and-the-people-lori-anne-ferrell-9780300114249","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
