1599 Geneva Bible: Patriot's Edition

This Bible is fun to have on hand for comparison with the AV largely because the AV was specifically commissioned to be clean of marginal notes, whereas the 1599 Geneva is full of notes, allowing insight into early Protestant exegesis. For example, Matt 24:22 has a note that acknowledges the idea that Jesus had mixed some first century Jewish prophecy with end-of-Christian-era prophecy, a view that is not common today but is borne out in the text itself, especially when a horizontal harmony is consulted ( AV version). My personal view is that Jesus answered the disciples' second question first, and finished speaking of His second coming. This solves the "this generation" question without resorting to full preterism. My view is generally Historicist/ Covenantal, and that fits nicely with many of the Geneva notes. The contrast with Futurism and Dispensationalism, which is currently mainstream, can be instructional. It is also interesting to have handy copies of the world's great freedom documents.

All I can is WOW. Couldn't believe what is in this book. I've been sharing it with friends and family. There is so much history of our country and its foundations all in one book, plus a reaffirmation of what we believe. Every time I read it I think about our forefathers and what they had to endure, their guts, faith and determination.Sure wish this had been available when I was growing up many years ago. Should be required reading for ALL of our children!!! They need to know how great this country is and what it really stands for. God bless America.Besides being so wonderful to read, it is a great resource while reading other versions. It's the precursor of the KJV. It makes me feel so dog gone rich. Blessed are those who read it.

Awesome find, as the book looks brand new. Very happy with the gift for my father in law. Fast shipping too!

The font is great, the print is a little small, but the translation, notes, annotations and commentary are awesome. Derived from GOD's WORD before the King James Authorized version, most of the passages are word for word from the KJV, but there are minor differences. Those minor differences make a world of difference as far as inspiration for me.GOD has no limits and inspiration can be derived from any version of HIS WORD, but from my experience in my opinion, I prefer this version of GOD's WORD.

Pretty good condition for being used and unseen with no pictures.

I first heard about this Bible from Kirk Cameron. It was the Bible that the pilgrims brought to America. What a great translation and the footnotes are very informative. This Patriot's Edition has the Constitution, Declaration of Independence and other important documents from the founding of our country. I especially loved the prayer from George Washington that is located in the front of the Bible. A must have for the Bible scholar! I highly recommend it to anyone that loves God's Word!!

Great for the pilgrims. Toss that KJV

I have wanted a copy of the Geneva Bible ever since I heard about it - almost 30 years ago! I am SO thankful to have it now! If you are not an assiduous Bible student, however, be aware that the wording will be VERY different from what you are used to! Even the verses do not always "line up" like you will expect. I enjoy lining up 4, 6, 8, different translations, and comparing them, but I know a lot of people don't (but should anyway!). The Geneva Bible has certainly sent me RUNNING for my other translations to check! But I LOVE this because it forces me to focus and get deeper into the Word ... and I come away (from the Encounter) with an ever-deepening understanding of the text!

Very good

good product good service
