    97TH UNITED STATES CONGRESS


    1ST SESSION

    Joint Resolution

    A joint resolution authorizing and requesting the President to proclaim 1983 as the "Year of the Bible".

    Whereas the Bible, the Word of God, has made a unique contribution in shaping the United States as a distinctive
    and blessed nation and people;

    Whereas deeply held religious convictions springing from the Holy Scriptures led to the early settlement of our
    Nation;

    Whereas Biblical teachings inspired concepts of civil government that are contained in our Declaration of
    Independence and the Constitution of the United States;

    Whereas many of our great national leaders-among them Presidents Washington, Jackson, Lincoln, and Wilson-
    paid tribute to the surpassing influence of the Bible in our country's development, as in the words of
    President Jackson that the Bible is "the rock on which our Republic rests";

    Whereas the history of our Nation clearly illustrates the value of voluntarily applying the teachings of the
    Scriptures in the lives of individuals, families, and societies;

    Whereas this Nation now faces great challenges that will test this Nation as it has never been tested before; and

    Whereas that renewing our knowledge of and faith in God through Holy Scripture can strengthen us as a nation
    and a people:

    Now, therefore, be it

    Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress
    assembled,

    That the President is authorized and requested to designate 1983 as a national "Year of the Bible"
    in recognition of both the formative influence the Bible has been for our Nation, and our national
    need to study and apply the teachings of the Holy Scriptures.

    Approved October 4, 1982.
