1 | what about the K J V | Rev 3:10 | Reformer Joe | 25007 | ||
Coming as I do from the theological tradition of the Puritans (call me puritannical -- I don't mind!), I will be happy to contend that the KJV is okay, just not as accessible to people speaking and English that is almost 400 years newer than what we see in its pages. Incidentally, the Geneva Bible (1560) came out before the KJV (1611), and the KJV was a response to that version, not vice-versa. King James just didn't like those Puritans and their study Bible! :) --Joe! |

Joe Your right the Geneva Bible was before the KJV and was probably the first Bible in America. It is believed to be the Bible of choice of the pilgrims. You used an interesting term "Study" bible. I never heard it called that. I know the Geneva Study bible exist today but I thought when the Geneva bible was first printed it was simply a bible with some translator remarks in it from time to time. Did the original carry additional annotation that we consider it a study Bible today? EdB |

Ed: The Geneva Bible may not have been as extensive as the bajillions of study Bibles out on the market today (I am still waiting for my Veggie Tales Study Bible, so I can learn how agriculture plays a vital role in redemptive history), but it did have a good deal of Calvinistic-leaning commentary in the margins (after all, it was translated by the exiled Puritans living in Geneva). James didn't like that, so he had his own made. --Joe! |

4 | what about the K J V | Rev 3:10 | EdB | 25091 | ||
Joe Once again I know this is true if the current Geneva Bible but I didn't know this was the case of the original. I'm not challenging you here but do you have any reference to this? EdB |

Ed: I am by no means an expert on the Geneva Bible, but here is a link which explains a little about the Geneva/King James situation: http://www.reformed.org/documents/geneva/Geneva.html And here is an example of the notes from the 1599 version of Romans: http://www.reformed.org/documents/geneva/romans.html Hope this gives you a good idea! --Joe! |

Joe Thanks for the information. All my training on the Geneva Bible had left out any information about the extensive informational notes within it. I was always told there was just some minor translator type notes and I thought the Geneva Bile that is now in print had just included commentary by the modern editors of the Bible. I had heard the story about King James and his dislike for the translation of the King Asa story and therefore had ordered his translators to correctly translate the passage on King Asa but they translated it exactly as it is today and the King wanting to continue win the esteem and continuing support of the people allowed the work to proceed. I never knew it was directed at the the Geneva Bible I just assumed it was aimed at the Great Bible.Thanks again for the info. EdB |
