Fascinating Facts About The Geneva Bible: The Geneva Bible was birthed out of Queen Mary's persecution of her Protestant subjects. Refuge-seekers fled to Geneva, Switzerland to pen this historic English translation in safety.
It was the first Bible to include many 'study' features, including margin commentary. It was even a quarter of the size of most Bibles at the time, making it easy to carry around!
The Pilgrims brought it with them on the Mayflower's perilous voyage to religious freedom.
It would have been the version John Bunyan, author of Pilgrim's Progress, would have read.
