""The Bible and the English People"" by William Canton is a historical account of the impact that the Bible has had on English culture and society throughout the centuries. The book explores the role that the Bible played in shaping the English language, literature, art, music, and political and social institutions. It traces the history of the English Bible from its earliest translations to the King James Version, and discusses the controversies and debates that surrounded its interpretation and dissemination. Canton also examines the influence of the Bible on English religious movements such as the Puritans, Quakers, and Methodists, as well as its impact on the abolition of slavery and the women's suffrage movement. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the Bible's enduring influence on English identity and culture, and offers insights into the ongoing debate over the Bible's relevance in modern society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
