Printed in 1782 by Philadelphia printer Robert Aitken, this Bible holds a singular place in history as thefirst complete English-language Bible produced in America, and theonly Bible ever authorized by Congress.

During and immediately after the Revolutionary War, imported English Bibles were scarce. Robert Aitken petitioned Congress for approval to print a domestic edition suitable for American households, churches, and schools. After review by congressional chaplains, Congress officially endorsed the work — an extraordinary moment where faith, independence, and the early federal government intersected.

This high-quality facsimile reproduces the original layout, typography, and character of the 1782 edition. It is printed on opaque paper and bound in a rich dark brown faux leather, adorned with detailed gold foil stamping.

Pair this item with our 1663 Eliot Indian Bible (Algonquian Bible) Facsimile — the very first Bible printed in America — foran accessible entry point for collectors, educators, churches, and families who want to engage hands-on with early American biblical history.
