The Bible in American Education: From Source Book to Textbook (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781589833975)

One of six titles in The Bible in American Culture series published to celebrate the Society of Biblical Literature's centennial, this volume focuses on the interplay between the Bible and education. Essays focus on how this relationship shifted over time from the Bible's central role in education during the seventeenth century through its decline in the twentieth century. With the debate about the role of the Bible in education arising anew in states around the country, this book lays contextual groundwork for anyone interested in the shape of public and private education in the twenty-first century.
