Yes, it is true that under English law, bibles could not be printed in the thirteen colonies without a license from the Crown. This restriction was part of broader regulations controlling printing and publication, as the English government sought to maintain authority over religious texts. However, this changed in the mid-18th century when the first complete English-language Bible was printed in the colonies by Robert Aitken in 1782, with permission from Congress.
