Title
A Most Favoured Nation: The Bible in Late Nineteenth-Century Canadian Public Life
Abstract
An examination of the way the Bible and biblical rhetoric were employed by public figures in Canada in the late nineteenth century. Among the conclusions drawn by the author is that Protestant Canadians who perceived French Quebec as a Bible-free zone were mistaken. He argues that Quebec's Catholic culture appears to have been somewhat more biblical, if less "biblicistic", than English-speaking Canadian culture.
