A Short History of the Geneva Bible

Gary DeMar recounts the history and uniqueness of the 1599 Geneva Bible and its importance to history and theology. The Geneva Bible was, in many ways, the Bible that influenced and inspired the American experiment and the freedoms that it enshrined in family, church, and civil governments.

The Geneva Bible is not at all forgotten. It is actually enjoying a resurgence of popularity.

God helped me find a replica of the 1560 Pilgrims Geneva Bible. Its in old German, however the Holy Spirit is helping me to interpret this. Praise God for giving me the desire to find a more accurate Bible than what I have.

I trust the Roman church as much as I trust the mainstream news.

"In the beginning was that Word and that Word was with God and that Word was God, this same was with God in the beginning. All things were made by it and without it was made nothing that was made."

Vastly different from the Roman Catholic pagan version.

when will this bible be available again?

The lead editor of the kjv is the coauthor of Shakespeare. Thats why they seem similar in a way. If that makes any sense to anyone.

If the king was persecuting them then why did the pastor john robinson who put the voyage together not go with them. The second thing is the two men he put in charge of the voyage were robert cushman and william bradford. If you look up the gravesites of these two men you will see they have obelisks for head stones. Obelisks have to do with sun worship and are put on graves of gnostic and freemasons.

0:27 The 1551 Stephanus Greek New Testament was the first printed Bible to use numbered chapters and verses. The Geneva Bible was the first English translation to use the chapter and verse numbering.

Wondering if there is any significant difference other than the side notes

[kiimbel]
