The Geneva Bible

The Geneva Bible, published in 1560, is an early English translation of the Bible that was widely used by Protestants before the King James Version. Known for its clear language and extensive footnotes, it provided readers with explanations and interpretations to better understand the Scripture. It was one of the first Bibles to include numbered verses and influenced later English translations. The Geneva Bible was popular among reformers and played a significant role in religious and cultural history, particularly among English-speaking Christians, by making the Bible more accessible and understandable.
