Key Features of the Geneva Bible: Then and Now

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.
