[Corrected] Dr. Naomi Wolf: "My Mind Was Blown by The 1560 Geneva Bible"
I was searching for the earliest English translation of the Bible from the Hebrew — because, of course, I am seeking guidance and comfort in a time of chaos and crisis. The Great Bible is the earliest translation. But the 1560 Geneva Bible, which I have been reading, has completely astonished me. [https://www.amazon.com/Geneva-Bible-Protestant-Reformation/dp/1598562126/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=geneva+bible&qid=1679881698&sr=8-1]
It was compiled by Protestant dissidents who had fled England under Queen Mary Tudor’s (“Bloody Mary’s”) reign — seeking to avoid martyrdom. They put together this translation from the Hebrew while gathered in Switzerland. They wrote it so that anyone literate could understand it — and added, for the first time, cross-references and marginal notes, and even maps.
This version is the one used by William Shakespeare, John Donne, John Milton — but also by the Puritans, and by our own Founders.
