1599 Geneva Bible Part 1 -The Torah-
The 1599 Geneva Audio Bible is recorded by Steve Cook of Audio Adrenaline, Inc., Steve's gallant voice brings the text to life, as if you were in a 17th century worship service in England or Colonial America.
When the Pilgrims came to America in 1620, they brought this version of the Bible with them on the Mayflower. It is a largely forgotten but invaluable treasure.
The Geneva Bible, printed over 200 times between 1560 and 1644, was the most widely read and influential English Bible of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. This superb translation was the product of the best Protestant scholars of the day and became the Bible of choice for many of the greatest writers, thinkers, and historical figures of that time. Men such as Shakespeare, John Bunyan, and John Milton used the Geneva Bible, and it was reflected in their writings. During the English Civil War, Oliver Cromwell issued a pamphlet containing excerpts from the Geneva Bible to his troops. William Bradford cited the Geneva Bible in his book Of Plymouth Plantation.
The Geneva Bible is unique. It was the first Bible to use chapters and numbered verses and became the most popular version of its time because of the extensive marginal notes. These notes, written by Reformation leaders such as John Calvin, John Knox, Miles Coverdale, William Whittingham, Anthony Gilby, and others, were included to explain and interpret the scriptures for the common people.
Unlike the King James Version, the Geneva Bible was not authorized by the government. It was a Bible by the people and for the people. This incredible version with its marginal notes played a key role in the formation of the American Republic.
The only complete version available today is a large, cumbersome, and difficult-to-read facsimile edition. The small print and the older English letters and spellings make it nearly impossible to read or study.
The Geneva Bible, like the King James Bible, is based on a translation of the Textus Receptus. It is very similar in its language to the KJV as well. This is a rare audio Bible that has been preserved for everyone to enjoy and find inspiration. May your faith increase as you hear the words of this timeless masterpiece.
