The 1560 Defined Geneva Bible: With Modern Spelling, New Testament
N**H
Not 100% Geneva.
I expected this to be 100% Geneva. But upon using a digital source to check that, I found that not to be so. More like 98% Geneva, 2% from other bibles like tyndale or bishops. Still old bibles from Textus receptus, but not Geneva. The preface also said this bible was not to replace the kjv, so when these little discrepancies came up, it felt like they did it to make it feel more archaic/awkward to read then it really was. I say that because in these places, my original (digital) Geneva source often phrased it better than what the authors of this bible did.Also, this bible is quite big. Not thick, but takes up more space than a usual bible. So that may make it cumbersome for carrying around, or this bible might make a statement for itself as it may be more noticed that way.
