Reformation And Historical Quotes From Dr. Marshall Foster's Introduction to the 1599 Geneva Bible.

Before the printing of Luther's German Bible in 1534 and the Geneva Bible in English, laymen, regardless of nationality, for 1500 years had never had a Bible of their own. The Church and kings kept all but clergy and Latin scholars from reading the Scripture. Since 1401, in England, it had been a capital crime to read the Bible in what a royal edict called the 'vulgar tongue' or the English language...The Geneva Bible stands as one of the great achievements of Biblical scholarship... The bold innovations of the Geneva Bible impact our world even today. Because of its readable type, cross references, verse divisions, and commentary, the Geneva Bible became the foundation for what we call group Bible study...a Bible appeared that set the stage for a Christian Reformation of life and culture the likes of which the world had never seen Introduction to the 1599 Geneva Bible .
