The 1599 Geneva Bible is a significant English translation of the Bible, widely known for its influence on Protestant Reformation thought. It was first published in Geneva, Switzerland, by English exiles who fled from Queen Mary I's Catholic persecution. This version, which predates the King James Bible by over a decade, includes detailed marginal notes that reflect Calvinist theology, making it popular among early Puritans and other reformers. It was also the preferred Bible of many early American settlers and played a key role in shaping English-speaking Protestantism.
