It was in World Net Daily that I first learned of the Geneva Bible, which was the whole reason for the King James Version in the first place.

King James ordered the King James Translation to be undertaken so as to supplant the Geneva Bible, which he hated, as it had lots of side notes and annotations and was written for the people to free them as opposed to the establishment to keep them in power.

The Geneva Bible is not sold in any stores, whereas you can see whole shelves of King James Bibles in any store. This is the biggest tragedy of Bible translations.

Was it not mostly the Tyndall translation given a new cover and preface

Many Christians don’t buy that Calvinism is about freedom.

You need to get together with the guy from post 16.

The Geneva Bible is still available but you have to hunt for it. I have one I ordered over the Internet, and a Geneva NT I found in a used book store.

Let me put in a plug for the should-be classic novel To Have and to Hold by Mary Johnston. Set in early Jamestown, the villain is one of King James' -- "favorites."

The KJB beat the Geneva Bible out in a fair competition over a 50 year period.

Even Geneva began printing KJB's with Geneva Bible notes in it.
