Winner of the 1996 Children’s Literature Award for the most distinguished scholarly work in the field of Children’s Literature given by the Children’s Literature Association


"The Bible for Children is an original and remarkable work of scholarship and interpretation. It proves, both surprisingly and conclusively, that for centuries Bible stories have been changed and rewritten in order to teach children contemporary secular manners and morals."—Alison Lurie, Professor of English, Cornell University



"This book will be the seminal work on children's Bible literature. Bottigheimer's research is impressive, and her findings on gender, patriarchy, sexuality, and social class are highly significant."—Gillian Adams
