Famous books
John Knox’s book, God’s Eternal Predestination, was published in Geneva in 1560.
The Geneva Bible was published late in 1560 by a group of English people who had been exiles there during the persecution of Queen Mary I and led by William Whittingham. A handsome quarto volume, convenient for personal and family use, it had illustrations and marginal explanatory notes. It became the most widely used Bible of the English Protestants.
The infamous Essays and Reviews, the manifesto of modern liberal Anglicanism, was published in February 1860, generating enormous controversy. It sold 22,000 copies in two years, more than The Origin of Species in its first 20 years.
