The Reformation
ed. Sproul, R.C. – Reformation Study Bible (2001)
ed. Beeke, Joel – The Reformation Heritage KJV Study Bible (n.d.)
Luther, Martin – Prefaces to the Books of the Bible Not every book is commented on.
These introductory prefaces are great for the beginner reading through the books of the Bible for the first time, to get a summary of them and to know what is important in each one. They are also edifying to the experienced reader.
Various – The Geneva Bible Annotations (1599) Authors includ: John Calvin, John Knox, Theodore Beza, Miles Coverdale, William Whittingham, Anthony Gilby, Christoper Goodman, Thomas Sampson, William Cole, William Keithe, Laurance Tomson, Franciscus Junius, John Bale, Heinrich Bullinger et al.
See the link for an introduction to these historically influential Bible notes from your favorite reformers at Geneva and other places. The notes, intending to be only marginal notes, unfortunately are often concise and sparse.
Various – The King James Version’s Translator’s Notes (1611)
These are the alternate translations for the Hebrew and Greek verses from the King James translators themselves.
These are reliable alternate translations from a reliable textual base, and these alternate translational readings lack the loose translation philosophy of many translational philosophies today found in many popular Bibles.
