It’s time to reopen the files. Because if the truth about George Washington can be buried . . . so can the truth about America itself.
The 1792 edition of Brown’s Bible, retitled for modern readers as The Forgotten George Washington Bible, prominently included President George Washington as the first of 1,279 “subscribers” and had a great impact on our nation in its early years.
In addition to the full and original KJV text of the Brown’s Self-Interpreting Family Bible of 1792, this beautiful facsimile Bible includes an illustrated new prologue detailing the fascinating and inspiring spiritual journey of George Washington, the genesis of this historically significant publication, and more.
Features include:
- Insightful mini biographies of both Washington and Brown
- Jefferson’s handwritten 168 words against slavery (which were deleted from the final version of the Declaration of Independence)
- Documentation of Washington’s firm belief in God the Creator, his creation, and the reality of both the ark and Noah
- Archbishop James Ussher’s chronology dating is present on every page in the 1792 Bible, making it much easier to understand where every passage fits in the timeline of Bible history.
- How a call to fasting and prayer by the extremely thankful Washington led to America’s first national Thanksgiving celebration (and was later the basis for Lincoln’s proclamation)
- Two-page ad for the Self-Interpreting Bible that appeared—along with the first public printing of the US Constitution—in the 1789 Acts of Congress
- The doctrine behind the notes of Brown’s Self-Interpreting Bible, silently endorsed by Washington’s prominent subscription
- The amazing true story of Jacob Brush, the soldier & horse-preacher evangelist who was the original owner of the facsimile copy digitized for this work
- Proof that Washington was not a deist, but rather a self-described Christian
- The account of God’s miraculous preservation of young Washington in the devastating Battle at Monongahela
- How the first-ever edition of the Self-Interpreting Bible came about . . . in Scotland
- An appendix section with ideas of how to use this book/Bible with students
- The government’s endorsement of the massive 1792 publication
- How the Self-Interpreting Bible disproves the controversial modern interpretation of the “separation of Church and state”
- Family Tree Chart (Bonus PDF download provided on this page to print and practice writing.)
- And more!
A Note from the Author
George Washington—America’s most beloved founding father, revolutionary general, first president, and in many ways, our first superhero. But while his stone face still watches over Mount Rushmore and his name graces monuments and cities, his real legacy—the full truth of the man—is quietly and systematically being buried. . . .
How many public-school history teachers have taught their students the fact that Washington used his final will to soon free every enslaved person he legally could? Or that he was the first recorded subscriber to a massive study Bible with an incredibly patriotic illustration that ties Scripture directly to the U.S. Constitution? Or that a page from President Washington’s own copy of that Bible was given by the Washington family to a “Yankee schoolteacher” so it could be buried in the cornerstone of the Washington Monument, 21 feet beneath that towering memorial. A silent witness to the faith that shaped our nation.
How many teachers know that Washington did not identify as a deist, but called himself a Christian?
These and countless other truths are being airbrushed out of the American story. Why? They don’t fit the new narrative. They point to faith, virtue, growth, and personal sacrifice—the kind of legacy that inspires, convicts, and challenges the cultural status quo. . . .
It’s time to reopen the files. Because if the truth about George Washington can be buried . . . so can the truth about America itself.

TESTIMONIALS:
The Christian heritage of America is increasingly being forgotten. This Bible edition, rescued from obscurity, will fascinate readers as they discover part of our nation’s history that’s been neglected. Homeschoolers, “history buffs,” and anyone who loves God’s Word and appreciates the history of our nation, will enjoy this unique book and the historical insights my friend of many years, Dale Mason, has uncovered.
I love this Bible! …It’s called the Self-Interpreting Bible and George Washington studied one exactly like it. The true stories included here are captivating. Years of hardship followed America’s war for independence and Bibles were desperately needed—both to share the gospel of Jesus and to teach true morality. ... My friend Dale Mason, the researcher behind this historic reprint, says the original that Washington owned and signed is the most priceless artifact from America’s founding that still exists, aside from the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. I agree! It even includes a woodcut illustration that clearly depicts the Holy Bible’s influence on the Constitution. (It reminds me of the Pilgrim statue—the National Monument to the Forefathers—and its profound hidden messages that God allowed me to memorialize in my film, Monumental.) ... Every Christian family should own and share this carefully restored reproduction. It affirms America’s godly heritage, which is so very important for our culture today! And be sure to use the specially annotated Family Tree chart to display your own milestones for generations to come!
Not only did John Brown of Haddington write excellent works on preaching, church history, pastoral theology, and systematic theology, but in 1778—just two years after [America’s] signing of the Declaration of Independence—he also produced what would become his most significant work, The Self-Interpreting Bible. This remarkably influential study Bible is a distinctly Christocentric, Reformed, and experiential work replete with theologically rich, exegetically penetrating, and historically valuable notes, cross-references, and applications. Here, indeed, is a treasure trove for posterity. May God bless Brown’s Bible to readers in the twenty-first century as much as He did when it was first published over two centuries ago!
May our nation never forget the spiritual treasures of faith found in the Scriptures that are so clearly explained by this historic and newly republished version of God’s Word.
Dale Mason found a significant historical gap and addressed it with laser precision. Following America’s war for independence, the Self-Interpreting Bible had a very broad impact on our nation’s development. It served as an anchor to stabilize, guide, and help grow our new nation. Mason makes this true story come alive!
[This Bible] helped families of all social status as they read the Scriptures together and asked questions of the text . . . .It can also be a blessing to today’s families, if they follow the daily practices of Bible-reading and prayer of our first president.
