The Bible

This dictionary has been prepared because Hastings's Dictionary of the Bible and the Encyclopaedia Biblica have been found too “discursive” for handy use. It is intended for educated ministers, who “have not always the leisure to enter into a discursive presentation of critical research”; for Sunday-school teachers and workers; and for intelligent laymen interested in Bible study. To serve such readers, the dictionary should be accurate but not technical; “it should be up to the day in its information, but not so discursive as to burden its pages with the pedantry of undigested facts.”

Chautauqua Institution

The Chautauqua Institution, founded in 1874 to train American Sunday school teachers, quickly developed programs aimed at encouraging a citizenry refined by Anglo-European, classical high culture and governed by Bible-centered Christian convictions. Avid Bible study, a walk-through model of biblical Palestine, smaller scale replicas of Jerusalem and the biblical Tabernacle, lectures and community rituals, costumed ‘Orientals’ enacting scenes of biblical life—these activities were central to Chautauqua's early identity. This essay explores how Chautauqua's realization of holy land in America embodied particular notions of the Bible, religious experience, cultural values, and ideologies of religion and national selfhood.
