King James Bible with Geneva Notes

5B; 1679 Puritan Bible 

Notes

The King James Bible with Geneva Notes, published in 1679, is a unique edition that combines the text of the King James Version (KJV) with the influential commentary from the Geneva Bible. The Geneva Bible, first printed in 1560, was known for its extensive marginal notes, which offered Protestant interpretations of scripture and were widely used by early English-speaking Reformers. By 1679, the KJV had become the dominant Bible in England, but the inclusion of the Geneva Notes in this edition reflects an enduring interest in the theological perspectives that shaped the Reformation. This blend of the KJV’s stately prose and the Geneva Bible’s scholarly notes provides a rich, historical view of both the text and its early interpretations.
