Publisher's summary

The Revised Geneva Translation of the Holy Bible is a faithful 21st century update to the Geneva Bible of the 1500's, the very first widely-distributed Bible in English. It is specifically designed to be spoken and heard, repeatedly, and is built on the premise that a crucial key to revival in the present can be found in one simple practice from the past: speaking God's Word back to each other in community. To that end, the RGT strives to preserve the textual cadence and poetry that is so essential to Elizabethan literature, while at the same time eliminating archaic and potentially distracting 16th Century words, phrases, and punctuation (such as employing the proper use of parentheses and quotation marks). It preserves the Geneva Bible's pioneering poetic style (i.e. beginning every verse on a new line - which aids tremendously in memorization).

However, unlike the Geneva Bibles of the 1500's, there is no commentary or other human adornment. The RGT intentionally omits these things and makes single interpretive choices, based primarily on the translations of William Tyndale and F.H.A. Scrivener. The study of textual variants is left to other Bibles more properly suited for that purpose.

In scholarly terms, the RGT is a formal or complete equivalency, based on the Byzantine text-type family of ancient Greek manuscripts. At this writing, the RGT is one of only a handful of modern translations of the New Testament to be so. It is our hope that this project will be a living and active Bible for this generation, built for hearing and doing (Matthew7:24), and that it will be profitable for teaching, convicting, correcting, and instructing in righteousness (2Timothy3:16)..."...that your faith might not be in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God."~1Corinthians2:5"

Blessed Be To Whomever Hears This Translation!

This performance by Steve Cook was absolutely phenomenal! Whether you're a long time friend of our Lord Jesus Christ, or a newly born again Christian, you'll want to give this one some serious consideration! This translation surpassed every expectation I had, in the years leading up to the audio release!

The language was easy to understand, while maintaining the integrity of the original scripture! Feel the scriptures come to life, grab your copy today, & hear the word of God like you've never heard it before!!
