Question on the new Geneva Bible

[kvanlaan]

Can anyone tell me if the "1599 Geneva Bible (America's 400th Anniversary Family Edition) - GENUINE LEATHER" (https://www.tollelegepress.com/store/product.php?productid=69) edition has the typos of the first edition corrected? My wife wants to get this for me but would rather wait with it if it is not the revised edition.

Thanks!

I have said copy. I don't know if they have the typos corrected, but the spelling (not the language!) is updated (e.g., they use thee and thous, but not the 16th century spelling). In fact, I find it more readable than the AV.

Thanks a lot, Jacob. It's a bunch of cash to be spending and I want to make sure it is what I think it is! Are you happy with it, personally? (Any physical flaws with it?)

I have one brother. The typo's were taken care of in the 2nd edition. The 400th is the 3rd edition. It's a little big for carrying to church but the print is larger and I for one enjoy that. I reccomend it.

I'm interested in purchasing the Geneva Bible also. I assume the hard cover is also the 3rd edition?

If you get it from TolleLege press it is.

The binding is great. Physically, no flaws. I really don't like the study notes (personal preference). It is a lot of money to spend on it. If I were to go back, I don't know if I would again. But it is what I am reading righ tnow. I have no problems with the quality of its make.

Thanks James.

It's on my "book to get" list... along with a "few" others... I think it'll be one of my next purchases though.

You heretic!

I understand. Disagreeeing with aspects of the Reformation is like disagreeing with the Bible (unless it is the Reformers' views on politics).

I am mainly referring to the notes on Revelation. I just don't see Gregory I in the book of Revelation.

Given it's heavy promotion by Gary DeMar et al I would imagine that those responsible for this new edition are mostly partial preterists.
