Bay Psalm Book
Psalm 100

My son Micah John found this old gem on vinyl at the library of Haverford College, where he was a student. He converted it to digital so that I could listen to it. Enjoy! The picture on the left is of John Eliot’s Bay Psalm Book, which is the first book published in America.

  • the first to publish a book in America

  • the "Apostle to the American Indian"

  • the first to publish a Bible in America, which was in the language of the native Americans living in the area
