The Bible after Independence and before Paine
Abstrak
The American Revolution meant that the new nation broke with Britain politically, but religious attitudes from the colonial period, including attitudes toward Scripture, did not materially change. The Bible remained an honored part of the cultural landscape. But compared to the Revolutionary years, when Scripture was enlisted to defend the patriot cause, it mostly receded into the background. Up in the air was the question of how religion and society would relate in the new nation that had rejected the forms of European Christendom, especially state-church establishments (though light establishment religion remained in almost all of the new American states).
