Reviews:

  • I just got my hands on this new edition of the Geneva 1560 version and his ancient texts , and I couldn’t be happier! In my opinion, a real gem for anyone interested in biblical history. It seems super easy to read, and the inclusion of the Apocrypha adds so much depth to the stories.I’m pleasantly surprised and what really sold me was the “authentic feel” of the 1560 text. The unique spellings with for example archaic English with the “v”and historical annotations give me a glimpse into the past, making it a fascinating read. Plus, the sturdy binding and high-quality paper mean this Bible will last for years. It’s perfect for study, reflection, or simply enjoying the richness of the text. Highly recommended!
  • This edition is a fantastic find for my library! finally with all the apocrypha and complete (Some I hadn’t read yet!). It should be a must-have for biblical scholars and history buffs. Inclusion of the Apocrypha, and authentic 16th-century orthography make this edition a treasure trove of insights into the evolution of biblical texts and the English language. Highly recommended for a unique and enriching reading experience.
  • I am enjoying the Geneva Bible, but would offer a word of caution when ordering: This Bible is written using Old English writing style, so it may take you a while to get into the rhythm as you read it. For me it has made me slow down & concentrate more on what I am reading for full comprehension & I also keep another version on hand for when I am not understanding the older language. Even so, I would highly recommend this Bible if you are wanting to compare between the older versions of the Bible vs the others that are published today (& yes, you will find differences).
