A Bible that connects you to your Christian heritage
This was the most influential Bible translation in history.
The Geneva Bible was the first English Bible to be translated entirely from the original languages. John Bunyan, Shakespeare, the Puritans, and the Pilgrims all read it.
What’s more, the Geneva Bible was made for ordinary people, printed in easy-to-read font using common words. By 1640, it had sold over a million copies.
Most importantly, it was intended for daily reading by everyone.
But despite the Geneva Bible’s profound impact on our Christian heritage, you’ve probably never had the chance to read it. We want to fix that.
Focus on the Word.
Improve your focus with a clean, clutter-free layout that removes distractions.
Creamy stock paper and easy-to-read font makes reading effortless.
Slim volumes can be taken with you to work or doctor’s appointments, and finished in one sitting.
Unlike most reader’s editions, the MGB retains chapter and verse markings so you can keep track of Bible reading plans and sermon references.
In keeping with the original Geneva Bible, this is a Bible made to be read.
Old Testament is forthcoming.
Read. Finish. Repeat.
This is your personal access to a time-honored text.
The Modernized Geneva Bible is not a facsimile reprint intended only for Reformation scholars with a magnifying glass. It’s a Bible for everyone.
We updated outdated words and syntax with modern English equivalents and haven't removed a single verse. The MGB maintains the full force of the original while bridging the gap between the 21st century and the 16th.
So if you want a heritage-rich Bible that’s made to be read—or if you’re struggling with consistency in your daily devotionals—this is the Bible for you.
