The Revised Geneva Translation is a 21st-century update of the very first widely distributed version of the Holy Bible in English, the Geneva Bible. Just as in all preceding centuries, Biblical text in the 1500s was meant to be heard and seen, as much as read, because so many of those who received it were illiterate (especially Gentiles) and needed to memorize it and speak it back to each other often in order to facilitate meditation. To that end, the RGT strives to preserve the textual cadence and poetry that is so essential to Elizabethan literature.

The Revised Geneva Translation (based on Shakespeare's favorite Bible translation) is a faithful 21st century update of the very first widely distributed version of the Holy Bible in English, The Geneva Bible. 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.
