The Geneva Bible 1599 Edition Large Print

The Geneva Bible, a translation of scripture, arose alongside the Protestant Reformation in England. The brutal persecutions of Mary I pushed her kingdom's most prominent Bible scholars to Europe in a migration known as the Marian Exile. 800 English Bible translators, including William Whittingham, Miles Coverdale, Christopher Goodman, Anthony Gilby, and John Knox, fled to the European continent, where they convened in Geneva, Switzerland, a city that had become famous worldwide as a Mecca for persecuted Protestants. There, they collaborated in the production of what would later be called The Geneva Bible, which went on to inspire later translations like the KJV and was the de facto Bible for Calvinist Christians.
