On this episode of Our American Stories, long before Harvard became a global symbol of academic achievement, it began as a school to train Puritan ministers. The Bible was at the center of its curriculum, guiding the values and vision of its founders. As part of our ongoing series, Robert Morgan, author of 100 Bible Verses That Made America, shares the story of how Harvard’s divinity roots influenced generations of leaders — and why that heritage still matters in understanding the college’s place in American history.
