Bibles (Geneva, KJV, Hexapla, etc.)

"I absolutely love it (the English Hexapla Bible-ed.)! I am an English medievalist who searched for over five years trying to find... a Wycliffe Bible." - Editor/Third Millennium Ministries. "Brown's (John Brown of Haddington-ed.) Bible was treasured in the homes of the people with all the reverence and care enjoyed by Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress and Boston's Fourfold State. It supplied what was lacking in these great soul classics, providing a clear path to the fount from which they derived their vitality and strength. The three were considered the necessary literary and religious equipment of the household." - Cited in Robert Mackenzie's book, John Brown of Haddington (1918), p. 190, where a whole chapter is devoted to the Self-Interpreting Bible.

"I cannot tell you what a treasure this book is (the English Hexapla Bible-ed.)... I could get lost in it for hours." - Rev. David A. Dawn.

"The Geneva Bible is the Puritan Bible with Reformation promoting marginal notes authored by prominent leaders of the Reformation (during the time of John Calvin and John Knox). The New Testament was translated out of the Greek by Theodore Beza. The Geneva Bible was the predominant English translation during the period in which the English and Scottish Reformations gained great impetus. Iain Murray, in his classic work on revival and the interpretation of prophecy, The Puritan Hope, notes on page seven, '...the two groups in England and Scotland developed along parallel lines, like two streams originating at one fountain. The fountain was not so much Geneva, as the Bible which the exiles newly translated and issued with many marginal notes... it was read in every Presbyterian and Puritan home in both realms.'" - Citations gathered by Dr. Reg Barrow.

"I'm so thankful that Still Waters Revival Books (swrb.com [now PuritanDownloads.com-ed.]) has done such wonderful work preserving... an otherwise unavailable book (referring to the English Hexapla Bible-ed.)! - Editor/Third Millennium Ministries.

"While other English translations failed to capture the hearts of the reading public, the Geneva Bible was instantly popular. Between 1560 and 1644 at least 144 editions appeared. For forty years after the publication of the King James Bible, the Geneva Bible continued to be the Bible of the (Puritan and Reformed-ed.) home." - Gary DeMar, The Forgotten Translation (The Geneva Bible-ed.).

"The Geneva Bible has been the lost treasure of Christendom for almost 400 years. Nearly forgotten by the modern world, this version of the Holy Scriptures was translated and compiled by exiled reformers in Geneva (1557-1560) and stands alone in history as the force that transformed the English speaking world from the backwater of history to the center of civilization." - Dr. Marshall Foster, Introduction to the 1599 Geneva Bible.
