Used by the settlers in Jamestown, the Geneva Bible has great historical significance.
"It was the first English Bible fully translated from the original languages. It was the first study Bible; [it] has over 300,000 notes and cross references. It was the first Bible to use chapters and verse numbers," says Vallorani. "It was portable and inexpensive. And it was ... used by Shakespeare and John Bunyan, and influenced America and the founding of America as we know it today."
According to Vallorani, the Geneva Bible played a key role in the Reformation." Via onenewsnow.com
