Podcast with Dale Mason on The George Washington Bible
Topic: The George Washington Bible.
We are blessed to have study Bibles. We almost take them for granted. Perhaps the first type of study Bible was the Geneva Bible of 1560. But there was another study Bible that was produced in the late 1700s by Rev. John Brown of Haddington, Scotland. That Bible was so powerful, that even after the Rev.’s death, there was a successful push to have an American version of the Brown’s Self-Interpretive Family Bible. It was produced in 1792 and a major part of the reason for the publication of the American version of this Bible was the support of none other than George Washington—a man who read the Bible a great deal, as well as the 1662 Book of Common Prayer of the Anglican Church. Dale Mason, an executive at Answers in Genesis, has painstakingly put together a new reprint of the Brown’s Self- Interpretive Family Bible of 1792. The name of this reprint is The Forgotten George Washington Bible. We have talked with Dale before about this Bible. Now we want to get more information of Rev. Brown’s seminal work.
