	During the reign of [[Queen Mary I of England]] ([[1553 AD\|1553]] – [[1558 AD\|1558]]), a number of Protestant scholars fled from [[England]] to [[Geneva]] in Switzerland, which was then ruled as a republic in which [[John Calvin]] and [[Theodore Beza]] provided the primary spiritual and theological leadership. Among these scholars was [[William Whittingham]], who would come to supervise what would become the effort to create the translation now known as the Geneva Bible, in collaboration with [[Myles Coverdale]], [[Christopher Goodman]], [[Anthony Gilby]], [[Thomas Sampson]], and [[Willian Cole]] – several of whom became prominent figures in the proto-Puritan Nonconformist faction of the Vestments controversy.

	Some editions from [[1576 AD\|1576]] onwards<sup>[2]</sup> included Tomson's revisions of the New Testament.

	Like most English translations of the time, the Geneva Bible was translated from scholarly editions of the Greek New Testament and the Hebrew Scriptures that comprise the Christian Old Testament. The English rendering was substantially based on the earlier translations by William Tyndale and Myles Coverdale (80-90% of the language in the Genevan [[New Testament]] is from Tyndale). However, the Geneva Bible was the first English version in which all of the Old Testament was translated directly from the Hebrew (cf. [[Coverdale Bible]], [[Matthew's Bible]]).

	The annotations which are an important part of the Geneva Bible were [[Calvinist]] and [[Puritan]] in character, and as such they were disliked by the ruling pro – government Protestants of the Church of England, as well as King James I, who commissioned the "[[Authorized Version]]," or [[King James Version\|King James Bible]], in order to replace it. The Geneva Bible had also motivated the earlier production of the [[Bishops' Bible]] under Elizabeth I, for the same reason, and the later Rheims-Douai edition by the Catholic community. The Geneva Bible remained popular among Puritans and remained in widespread use until after the English Civil War. The Geneva notes were surprisingly included in a few editions of the King James version, even as late as [[1715 AD\|1715]].<sup>[2]</sup>		The annotations which are an important part of the Geneva Bible were [[Calvinist]] and [[Puritan]] in character, and as such they were disliked by the ruling pro – government Protestants of the Church of England, as well as King James I, who commissioned the "[[Authorized Version]]," or [[King James Version\|King James Bible]], in order to replace it.
