Professor Bernard Levinson's (Classical and Near Eastern Studies) essay, "The King James Bible at 400: Scripture, Statecraft, and the American Founding," was published as a special supplement in the November issue of the History Channel Magazine, in commemoration of the 400th anniversary of the King James Bible. The focus of the article, co-written with an Israeli colleague, is to show how the King James Bible was used by the American Founders to shape early American politics and construct the Constitution. The article itself is now posted on the Society of Biblical Literature website.
