| Summary: | The Chautauqua Institution, founded in 1874 to train American Sunday school teachers, quickly developed programs aimed at encouraging a citizenry refined by Anglo-European, classical high culture and governed by Bible-centered Christian convictions. Avid Bible study, a walk-through model of biblical Palestine, smaller scale replicas of Jerusalem and the biblical Tabernacle, lectures and community rituals, costumed 'Orientals' enacting scenes of biblical life -- these activities were central to Chautauqua's early identity. This essay explores how Chautauqua's realization of holy land in America embodied particular notions of the Bible, religious experience, cultural values, and ideologies of religion and national selfhood. |
