1599 Geneva Bible

Patriot's Edition

Between 1560 and 1599, The Geneva Bible was providentially unleashed upon
a dark, discouraged, downtrodden English speaking world. Just when it looked
as if the Machiavellian, Divine Right kings, such as the Tudors of England,
were about to drive Christendom back to the days of Caesar worship, a Bible
appeared that set the stage for a Christian Reformation of life and culture
the likes of which the world had never seen. By the time of the defeat of
the Spanish Armada in 1588, just 28 years after the first printing of the
Geneva Bible, it was already being said of the English that they were
becoming a “people of the Book.” The results of a people reading and obeying
the Word of God were the explosion of faith, character, the first missionary
movement in history, literature, economic blessing, and political and
religious freedom.

The Pilgrims brought the 1599 Geneva Bible with them when they arrived in
the New World in 1620. All but forgotten in our day, this version of the
Bible was the most widely read and influential English Bible of the
sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. A superb translation, it was the
product of the best Protestant scholars of the day and became the Bible of
choice for many of the greatest writers and thinkers of that time. Men such
as William Shakespeare, John Bunyan, and John Milton used the Geneva Bible
in their writings. William Bradford also cited the Geneva Bible in his
famous book Of Plymouth Plantation.

The Geneva Bible is unique among all other Bibles. It was the first Bible
to use chapters and numbered verses and became the most popular version of
its time because of the extensive marginal notes. These more than 300,000
notes were included to explain and interpret the scriptures for the common
people.

The Patriot's Edition of the 1599 Geneva Bible is the same Scripture,
word for word, that the Pilgrims brought to America nearly 400 years ago.
This new edition, however, features a prayer by George Washington, which
begins…

“O eternal and everlasting God, i presume to present
myself this morning before thy divine majesty, beseeching thee to accept of
my humble and hearty thanks, that it hath pleased thy great goodness to keep
and preserve me the night past from all the dangers poor mortals are subject
to, and has given me sweet and pleasant sleep, whereby i find my body
refreshed and comforted for performing the duties of this day, in which i
beseech thee to defend me from all perils of body and soul…”
