英语词汇gideon bible的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Gideon Bible. In 1910 one very proper Bostonian sought an injunction to prevent the Gideon Society from distributing the Bible—“on the ground that it is an obscene and immoral publi- cation.” But not even crackpots have deterred the organization of traveling salesmen from their goal of placing a Gideon Bible in every hotel room and Pullman car in America. The Gideon Society, formally the Christian Commercial Young Men’s Asso- ciation of America, was founded in Boscobel, Wisconsin in 1899 and is now based in Chicago. Its name derives from that of the biblical Gideon, a judge of Israel who became a warrior and ingeniously delivered Israel from the Midianites, giving his country 40 years of peace (Judg. 6:11–7:25).
