Modernized Geneva Bible

Amazing and refreshing! Love that each book is separate and easy to bring along wherever you go. God's Word is eternal and from it comes life. Affordable also.

The quality of the box set is top notch. The feel of the covers and the thickness of the paper makes for a very enjoyable read. The formatting of the text is very useful not just for reading, but there is plenty of room for underlining, marking, and small notetaking. All in all a very simple, readable, and uncluttered text. The translation itself is the only thing I have an issue with. I figured with it being 'modernized' it would actually be more modern than it is. The sentence structure is still the same, and though some words have been changed there's a lot that has stayed the same. I would liken it more to a KJVer or 21st Century King James, rather than a New King James Version. It is not bad, just interesting. We need more translations based on the Textus Receptus, so I like that this translation stands in that tradition. I just think that there's a bit more "modernizing" that could be done to really make this translation stand out and hold its own in the translation market.

Looking forward to start treading but wish whiteness larger for us older people

Such a great set of New Testament readers. Looking forward to the Old Testament set and the leather bound.

I've read many translations of the New Testament and learned from each of them. From a few, I've learned what not to believe. Thankfully, that's only been a few.
the Modernized Geneva Bible translation is refreshing. Having never read the 1599 version, I am unable to compare the two. I find the MGB comparable to the New King James Bible translation in its use of modern language and I like the NKJB for this very reason.

Thank you for the vision for this product via the trailer video. The formatting, page feel, etc. is wonderful. But, I have the original 1560 version in anglo-saxon english, and it really takes you back and connects you with Reformation and post-reformation history. I think this modernized version over does the modernization translation work. I might as well just read from my 2015 ESV. Sorry, but disappointed and cannot refer people to purchase it. Sola Deo GLoria.

I like that I can pull out one book at a time to take with me for appointments and so on. Even at home I like to study out of one book at a time as they were originally meant to be read. I also think they did a good job on the updated translation.

First a word about shipping, EXCELLENT! I ordered this a few days before Christmas and it shipped unbelievably quickly. The Canon people are great at embodying what their books teach.
The Bible itself...A must have for anyone who has the ability to buy books. It's a version that can be trusted and so it's helpful to read the NT from a version you are unfamiliar with. There will be a phrase here or there that will give you pause and make you think about something in a different light. Having the Bible separated in individual small books is a great way to carry it on the go. Although who does that in the days of "devices"? In short, a wonderful Bible study tool. You can listen to it on Canon+ too. So listen and read along...

I love the idea with the slip case and such, but was very disappointed in the quality of the paper used. It seemed to be of the quality of the bulk paperbacks that you could buy in the grocery store. It surprised me that there would be the quality slip cover, but poor quality paper.

Really well done. Very attractive. But one small exception is I think there are too many volumes. I like having the separate Gospels but it might be nicer to have Paul's letters in one volume and likewise the general epistles. Not a complaint just my subjective view. I do like the printing which is very easy to read. Overall I am completely satisfied and looking forward the O.T. set

Exactly as described. Very pleased with this box set.

I have enjoyed using these thin volumes to follow along with my daily audio Bible reading. They are the perfect size and the translation matches “To The Word” exactly.

Modernized Geneva Bible: New Testament Box Set

Excellent!

I love this format (individual booklets)! I have been reading Hebrews over and over again. Thank you for your labor in this project. The wording of the Modernized Geneva Bible has been flat-out refreshing and soul-deepening to this life-long NASB reader.

It was a requested Christmas gift for my son

They were better than expected. Gave them as a gift and the person who received them loves them!

I love this edition of the Geneva Bible very easy to read and very easy to understand I used to think that we need the marginal notes but I realize as long as you have the Holy Ghost I think you understand easier that way I would love it though to be a whole Bible with the Apocrypha with the same thick paper that was used and the original paperback but also you guys should really consider to put this on a downloadable PDF with the Old testament the New testament and the Apocrypha I would truly buy this because it's perfect that's for you Canon press thank you for making this and please make this a whole Bible having the Old and New testaments and the Apocrypha and please make it a downloadable PDF because with this I truly believe this will help people a bit more and also something keep for generations to come

I have for too long spent most of my Bible “study” time getting lost in the notes. The MGB helps me to focus on the message.

Translation is beautiful. Old language, but understandable.

I have a hobby of sorts collecting unique Bibles and various translations of the Bible. This set was on sale and was one that I did not have yet. Either a booklet style reader form, or the Geneva translation. I also love that there is a place for notes at the end of the various books. Thanks for such a wonderful work.

The Geneva Bible was the translation used by the Puritans, and now I can better understand why. The readers version I find to be perfect when reading the New Testament devotionally in the morning or before bed; and will always prompt further meditation upon the text. The language is beautiful, and I use it when studying scripture in ESV in order to better understand the words of our Lord Jesus. A great tool!

The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because it's the New Testament only 😁

I really like the translation itself. Been reading the original Geneva for years.

I like the comfortable text style and size, easy to read and on my older eyes. I also lke the CLEAN layout uncluttered with stuff".
I have mixed feelings about the format, that is, the individual booklets. It is handy for daily reading, and when I need to bring one volume to church to read to the congregation (we do that weekly). BUT I am frustrated at the clumsy large box of sepearate books for use when listening to teacning, or general study. I suppose the bottom line is, once yuo finally have the earlier testmant comoleted, and, as mentioined in "plans for the future" yuo will issue the entire ork in one volume, I shall have to buy that as well. I do believe that the best of both worlds is.. both worlds.

I DO certainly hope that, once the full volume is produced, you do as much as possible to retain the easy to read clean format. But I fear som e will need an optional hand truck to bring the thing along. Perhaps narrowing the margins a touch, allowing a few more chracters per line, and decreasing the line spacing a touch to include a few more lines per page, and making the text "box" a touch taller as well, it might reduce the overall page count yet retain 95% of the best format features.

You lot have always been on top of things when it comes to figuring such things out. Let me know when the full tet is availble ibetween two covers.

I am enjoying the convenience of these separate volumes. They are easy to add to my bag when I’m traveling. The text is much easier to read and understand than I expected. I am currently reading Luke, and the language sounds like Jesus’ is actually speaking. This translation is an excellent one in that it is modernized enough to be easily comprehensible without losing the feel of the original text. I also love the audio versions of the readings.

Great readability! The division of the NT into softcover volumes makes feasting on scripture mentally less tedious and all the more enjoyable.

The title well summarizes my first impressions of this New Testament translation. The Geneva Bible has an elegance to the language, but remains very understandable. The layout and utter lack of notes, headings and other accoutrements enhances the experience. (Subtle chapter and verse markings are still included.) Just "skimming" and not intending to dig in, I found I'd read through several eplstles without effort. In my estimation, this is an ideal Bible for daily reading, personal and family devotions and sharing.

Very good set, love that it's separated in small books, easy for someone to pick up and read any book in one sitting, looking forward to the old testament set as well,

Loving it, beautiful and easy to read text.

Would love it even more if the books were hard cover so that I wouldn't have to take such care to not bend the covers while replacing them in the box. I would be willing to pay more for that. Otherwise, brilliant.
