The Geneva Bible is one of the most important versions in the history of Bible translation. It stands as a milestone in the development of biblical annotation and commentary. It also laid the groundwork for modern study Bibles, which themselves served as the inspiration for applications and websites such as Blue Letter Bible. First published in 1560 by Protestant scholars in Geneva, Switzerland, this work was notable for being the first English translation to implement several things. Among these are textual and explanatory study notes in page margins.
The study notes included in the Geneva Bible were compiled from the work of Reformation leaders including John Calvin, John Knox, and others. Their Reformed theological perspective enhanced the reading of the Scriptures and promoted purposeful study of the text by laymen. These notes are comprehensively vast, covering theological, historical, and practical aspects of the text.
