The Great Bible

A complete 1541 edition of The Great Bible is available on Bibles-Online.net. However, this site uses Adobe Flash, which does not work with iPhones and iPads. Moreover, newer versions of Chrome automatically block Adobe Flash, although you can unblock it. Also, Adobe will stop supporting Flash at the end of 2020. Bibles-Online.net says, “we are working toward migrating the website to another software platform.” The Story of the Bible will monitor this after the end of 2020.

Be sure to enlarge the title page (Click on “Introduction”). It clearly sets out Henry’s political agenda. He is pictured receiving the “Word of God” from God Himself, giving it to his ministers, who then give it to the people, all of whom are saying, “Long live the king.” Henry is shown about four times the size of God.
