Key Features of the Geneva Bible Then and Now

The Geneva Bible was a monumental achievement in the history of Protestant Bible translation. Born in a time of religious and political upheaval it helped foster Scripture literacy among the common people of England and offered for the first time "study resources" to make the Bible easier to understand. Enjoy these key features:

THEN (What made this Bible revolutionary then still makes it valuable now)

Format:

  • Text printed in readable roman type
  • Division of the text into numbered verses and includes cross-references
  • Italic type used for words not in the original languages
  • Comes with the Apocrypha (like most Bibles printed before 1800)

Extra Resources:

  • Extensive textual and explanatory commentary placed in the margins
  • Words/phrases displayed at the heads of pages to promote Scripture memorization
  • Over 30 maps and woodcuts illustrating biblical scenes, including labeled diagrams of the Ark of the Covenant, Tabernacle, and more.

NOW (Find out why this particular version of the Geneva Bible is a top pick)

  • Clear Facsimile—This is a copy, yet it is still easy to read
    • Original and Authentic—Complete, original commentary, maps and woodcut illustrations
    • Added Context—Solid overviews and an in-depth introduction to the Geneva Bible
    • Quality—includes ribbon markers, sewn binding, and more!

Enjoy Seeing Original Illustrations from the Geneva Bible

Not all modern Bibles include illustrations. Yet, the Geneva Bible of 1560 did! It was created so both the common people and church leaders could deepen their understanding of the Bible—and included labeled diagrams and maps!

Please note: This is a facsimile. It will not include a Strong's concordance or other modern features. Yet with commentary in the margins, this revolutionary "study Bible" still holds incredible insights for modern readers.

Fascinating Facts About The Geneva Bible

  • Queen Mary's (1553-1558) persecution of her Protestant subjects caused many to flee to the continent to avoid imprisonment or execution. Geneva, Switzerland soon became a center for Protestant biblical scholarship. It was there that a group of the movement's leading lights gathered to undertake a fresh translation of the Scriptures into English: The Geneva Bible.
  • It was the first Bible to include many "study" features, including margin commentary, verses, readable roman type, and more. It was even a quarter of the size of most Bibles at the time, making it easy to carry around!
  • The Pilgrims brought it with them on the Mayflower's perilous voyage to religious freedom.
  • It would have been the version John Bunyan, author of Pilgrim's Progress, would have read.
