Federalist Papers and the Bible

The Federalist Papers and the Bible is an analysis of the influence of the Bible on the Federalist Papers.

The Federalist Papers do not expressly reference the "Bible" or "Scriptures" itself, in its 375 pages of combined pdf text.[1]

"Providence" -- a reference to God \- is mentioned 3 times in Federalist No. 2, as written by John Jay.

Federalist No. 43 by James Madison mentions "nature's God" as follows:

“  |  The first question is answered at once by recurring to the absolute necessity of the case; to the great principle of self-preservation; to the transcendent law of nature and of nature’s God, which declares that the safety and happiness of society are the objects at which all political institutions aim, and to which all such institutions must be sacrificed.  |  ”
