In The Bible in America, a group of young scholars explore the ambiguous and complex ways in which the Word has been both a radical and conservative force in America, from the days of the Puritans through Sam Ervin and Jimmy Carter: how through three centuries the Bible has influenced civil religion and written culture, church life and political rhetoric, and the ways in which it has created a distinct view of history and a unique national consciousness in the United States."--Back cover.
