We start with 1794 and the aftermath of the founding of the United States. Dr. Noll considers Thomas Paine’s works, proprietary and sectarian churches, and the role of Asbury and the Methodists. We discuss how America saw itself as a Hebrew republic, the African-American experience, and how the Bible functioned on both sides of the slavery debate. Noll covers the Bible’s relationship to democracy, freedom, women, Native Americans, the Civil War, Reconstruction, denominational upheavals, Catholics, and Jews.
Dr. Mark A. Noll is Professor Emeritus of History at University of Notre Dame and author of “America’s Book: The Rise and Fall of a Bible Civilization 1794-1911”
