Bill overview
This House Resolution seeks to formally recognize Robert Aitken’s Bible as a significant historical document related to the United States Congress. The resolution highlights the Bible’s importance as the first English-language Bible printed in North America and the pivotal role it played in early American education. It references a 1782 Congressional resolution that praised Aitken’s efforts to provide Bibles for schools and recognized the importance of religious and artistic progress in the new nation. Ultimately, the House wants to acknowledge the Bible’s place in American history.
