Origin of the Geneva Bible

The first complete Bible to be translated into English from the original Hebrew and Greek texts. In part due to the extensive marginal notes, it was the most widely read and influential English Bible of the 16th and 17th centuries and the Bible of choice for many of the greatest writers, thinkers, and historical figures of the Reformation era (replacing the Great Bible). During King James's reign, and into the reign of Charles I, the Geneva Bible was gradually replaced by the King James Bible, Authorized Version of 1611.
