The Biblia Sacra Vulgatae Editionis and Douai Bible pages shown are from the collection of the Museum of the English Bible, Cumberland, Maryland.

When we think of Christianity and the Bible, our first thought is that it is mainly a Western religion. This is not really the case. Ethiopia had both a strong Christian presence, and a written Bible, centuries before the Europeans. The Ethiopian Bible is written in Ge'ez, which is their academic and liturgical language. This page from an Ethiopian Bible in Ge'ez is on display now in the Museum of the English Bible, Cumberland, Maryland. #bible #museumoftheenglishbible #ethiopian

The saying goes, It is easier to catch flies with honey than with vinegar. That might have been what the creators of one 1597 edition of the Geneva Bible thought. In an attempt to coax Queen Elizabeth I to adapt the Geneva Bible as the "official" English Bible, they wrote a four-page dedication to the Queen in flowery language flattering her, and the superiority of their translation. All four of these pages are part of the Geneva Bible exhibit at the Museum of the English Bible in Cumberland, Maryland.

The results he called 'The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth,' but became popularly known as the Jefferson Bible.
