Very informative and well addressed! I too have inexpensive facsimile versions of these reformation Bibles (I have not read all of them but looked up key verses/passages) and see in a very limited view God's purifying process to His gold standard - The Holy Bible 1611.
I haven't read any of the Mathew Bible although I have one coming. I have read some 1560 Geneva and find it to be very interesting (especially the margin notes). What interests me more than the minor differences in these Reformation Bibles is the fact that the Anabaptists (according to the information that I found) used none of these Bibles historically. They were even persecuted by the Protestants at the time. I know that whomever made the notes in Revelation Ch 2 Vs 24 in the 1560 Geneva, had issue with the Anabaptists noting that they followed the corrupt doctrine of the Church of Thyatira. That kind of blew me away as the most sound Christians that I know are Anabaptist Mennonites. Maybe you have information on this topic, but I plan on doing more studying. Thanks for the interesting content!
On another note, I listened to leather vs pleather yesterday and this certainly will open the heart of those who can hear. The pre 1611 bibles were important but God chose King James to finally complete all of what the reformers achieved with their blood.
The pre-reformation Bibles were definitely important. They laid the ground work for the 1611. Although they had dross in them, they are still superior to modern Bibles translated from WH, UBS and NA.
thanks for covering this, i thought about bringing it up (i dont know much either way), but you guys did first
A few others have sent me emails expressing concern about what they are hearing regarding the Matthew Bible. Jesus said, my sheep hear my voice and a stranger they will not follow.
