The Geneva Bible: A Facsimile of the 1560 Edition - The Geneva Bible was the most widely read and influential Bible of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. A superb translation, it was the product of the best Protestant scholars of the day and became the Bible of choice for many of the greatest writers and thinkers of that time. William Shakespeare, John Bunyan, John Milton, and many others used the Geneva Bible. The Geneva Bible was also the world’s first study Bible. King James considered the commentary on key political texts to be a threat to his authority, and that’s why the King James Bible was published in 1611. Unlike the King James Version, the Geneva Bible was not authorized by the government. It was truly a Bible by the people and for the people. This facsimile edition is printed from pictures of the original pages.
