Sacred Scripture, Sacred War: The Bible and the American Revolution
Byrd, James P. (Assistant Professor of American Religious History, Assistant Professor of American Religious History, Vanderbilt University Divinity School)
The American colonists who took up arms against the British fought in defense of the ''sacred cause of liberty.'' But it was not merely their cause but warfare itself that they believed was sacred. In Sacred Scripture, Sacred War, James P. Byrd shows that the Bible was a key text of the American Revolution.
