It was the primary Bible of 16th century Protestantism and was the Bible used by William Shakespeare, Oliver Cromwell, John Knox, John Donne, and John Bunyan, author of Pilgrim's Progress. It was one of the Bibles taken to America on the Mayflower, it was used by many English Dissenters, and it was still respected by Oliver Cromwell's soldiers at the time of the English Civil War in the booklet Cromwell's Soldiers' Pocket Bible.This version of the Holy Bible is significant because, for the very first time, a mechanically printed, mass-produced Bible was made available directly to the general public which came with a variety of scriptural study guides and aids (collectively called an apparatus), which included verse citations which allow the reader to cross-reference one verse with numerous relevant verses in the rest of the Bible, introductions to each book of the Bible which acted to summarize all of the material that each book would cover, maps, tables, woodcut illustrations, indexes, as well as other included features — all of which would eventually lead to the reputation of the Geneva Bible as history's very first study Bible.Because the language of the Geneva Bible was more forceful and vigorous, most readers preferred this version strongly over the Great Bible. In the words of Cleland Boyd McAfee, "it drove the Great Bible off the field by sheer power of excellence".SEARCH EVERY VERSE No matter where you are in the Bible, quickly jump to a verse by typing the book's three-letter abbreviation and chapter and verse. For instance to jump to John 3:16, simply type "joh3.16". Easy as that!

I love the Bible, but this version is very difficult to navigate. For instance, you can’t just type in John1:1, and go there. You have to know the page number the book of John starts on, but it does not list that on the TOC
If you're looking for a Geneva Bible that is easy to navigate: this is it. It will take you a few minutes to figure out, but after that you can go book to book, chapter to chapter, with no problem. Please understand that I purchased this Bible about a half hour ago. I was so happy how easy it was to navigate I wanted to post it. The sample does not work like the full version.
