oct 27, 1663 - Eliot's Indian Bible

Description:

Eliot's Indian Bible was the first bible published in America by a man named John Eliot. This publication was a contributor to the Indian Country during the later 1600s. This event can symbolize the importance of books in the Early Modern World. Bibles are a symbol of religion, which was also a very common thing in those days.
I see the publication of Eliot's Indian Bible as an important asset to our history, and even to our class. The bible may not follow the same beliefs as I do, but it is the same concept. That bible is just as important to the people of that religion as my beliefs are to me. It is important to learn about the nonfood materials of this time, and books are something that should definitely not be overlooked. Bibles, and many other books, are great resources and great ways to learn new ideas.
