In a very real sense, we as Americans owe much of our rich spiritual heritage to the Geneva Bible — the Scriptures carried by Plymouth Pilgrims and great reformers. Nearly forgotten today, this version of the Holy Scriptures — first translated into English in 1560 — created the conditions for a Christian reformation of life and culture the likes of which the world had never seen.

In 1553, Mary Tudor ascended the throne of England and set about to stamp out the Reformation, ordering the burning of all copies of the Bible in the English tongue and causing more than three hundred reformers to be burned at the stake. Bloody Mary’s vicious crusade drove scores of English reformers to Geneva, including some of the finest biblical scholars in history. Together, these men produced a new English Bible based on the original languages and not beholden to any king or prelate — the Geneva Bible
The Geneva Bible is the Bible of “firsts”: It was the first Bible to qualify as a study Bible, providing readers with copious notes, cross-references, and commentary about the original manuscripts. It was the first Bible to be printed in a portable and affordable edition. And it was the first Bible to assign chapter and verse numbers, facilitating the location of passages, memorization, and recitation — and the nurture of a nation of Bible readers.
The Geneva Bible inspired those who championed self-government and civic virtue. Its mighty influence was manifest in the lives of Knox, Cromwell, and Shakespeare. And it was the 1599 Geneva Bible that the Pilgrims

I love this bible and have several friends who are very interested in owning one. If I could have my wishes for this edition, I would ask for larger fonts and a little higher quality. Here's the deal, most bible scholars are seniors. Most seniors have failing eyesight. A friend at church just loves this bible but the print is hard for him to read. I am sure he would buy one in a heart beat if it were presented in a larger print. If it would require two volumes to contain it that would be OK.
