Reformation Guide to Scripture

In the book A Reformation Guide to Scripture, The Banner of Truth Trust is marking the 450th anniversary of the first edition of the Geneva Bible. They’re doing this by publishing this collection of introductions or prologues to the books of the Bible together with the translators’ letter to Queen Elizabeth urging her to assist in building up the church in England and their letter to ‘our beloved in the Lord’, the Bible-reading Christians of the British Isles. The prologues present in a succinct and pithy way the ‘argument’ or theme of each book, giving the reader a rapid overview of the whole Bible, as seen through the eyes of the exiles. The book is sent out with the prayer that the prologues will help present-day readers to see the scope of each biblical book and taste the ‘riches of true knowledge and heavenly wisdom’ which the Geneva translators found there.
