520 |a "First printed in the United States during the American Revolution, the Bible underwent many revisions, translations, and changes in format as different editors and publishers appropriated it to meet a wide range of changing ideological and economic demands. This book examines how many different constituencies, both secular and religious, fought to keep the Bible the preeminent text in the United States as the country's print marketplace experienced explosive growth ...
