Noah Webster's 1828 American Dictionary of the English Language was produced during the years when the American home, church and school were established upon a biblical and a patriotic basis. Webster, descended on his mother's side from Pilgrim Governor William Bradford of Plymouth Plantation, made important contributions to an American educational system which kept the nation upon a Christian Constitutional course for many years. Today, when the biblical basis of education is under systematic attack, we need to capitalize upon the availability of our first American dictionary -- the only dictionary in the world to "draw water out of the wells of salvation" -- to utilize God's written Word as a key to the meaning of words. Historically, it documents the degree to which the Bible was America's basic textbook in all fields. - p. 9.
