Our Third Session today is the bible and the American Revolution with james byrd. In this presentation based on his latest book, he shows that the bible was a key text of the American Revolution when war came to the colonies, preachers and patriots turned to the bible for solace and exhortations to fight.

Byrd will examine specific biblical text and how they were used especially in making the patriotic calls for war. James byrd is chair of ft graduate department of religion and associate professor for religion at vanderbilt university. The latest book is sacred scripture, sacred war. Join me in welcoming dr. Byrd. [ applause ] well, thank you. Im pleased to be here. A
