Geneva Bible The Geneva Bible is one of the most historically significant translations of the Bible into English, preceding the King James Version by 51 years. It was the primary Bible of 16th-century English Protestantism and was used by William Shakespeare, Oliver Cromwell, John Knox, John Donne, and John Bunyan, author of "The Pilgrim's Progress" (1678). It was one of the Bibles taken to America on the "Mayflower" (Pilgrim Hall Museum has collected several bibles of "Mayflower" passengers). The Geneva Bible was used by many English Dissenters, and it was still respected by Oliver Cromwell's soldiers at the time of the English Civil War, in the booklet "Cromwell's Soldiers' Pocket Bible".

Tetragrammaton The tetragrammaton ( ; from Greek Τετραγράμματον , meaning "[consisting of] four letters"), in Hebrew and YHWH in Latin script, is the four-letter Biblical name of the God of Israel. The books of the Torah and the rest of the Hebrew Bible (with the exception of Esther, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Songs) contain the Hebrew word . Religiously observant Jews and those who follow conservative Jewish traditions do not pronounce , nor do they read aloud transliterated forms such as "Yahweh"; instead the word is substituted with a different term, whether used to address or to refer to the God of Israel. Common substitutions for Hebrew forms are "hakadosh baruch hu" ("The Holy One, Blessed Be He"), Adonai ("The Lord"), or "HaShem" ("The Name").

I Am that I Am I Am that I Am (, "ehyeh ašer ehyeh" ] ) is the common English translation (JPS among others) of the response that God used in the Hebrew Bible when Moses asked for his name ( ). It is one of the most famous verses in the Torah. "Hayah" means "existed" in Hebrew; "ehyeh" is the first person singular imperfect form and is usually translated in English Bibles as "I am" or "I will be" (or "I shall be"), for example, at Exodus 3:14. "Ehyeh asher ehyeh" literally translates as "I Am Who I Am." The ancient Hebrew of Exodus 3:14 lacks a future tense such as modern English has, yet a few translations render this name as "I Will Be What I Will Be," given the context of Yahweh's promising to be with his people through their future troubles. Both the literal present tense "I Am" and the future tense "I will be" have given rise to many attendant theological and mystical implications in Jewish tradition. However, in most English Bibles, in particular the King James Version, the phrase is rendered as "I am that I am".

The Obedience of a Christian Man The Obedience of a Christen man, and how Christen rulers ought to govern, wherein also (if thou mark diligently) thou shalt find eyes to perceive the crafty convience of all iugglers. is a 1528 book by the English Protestant author William Tyndale. Its title is now commonly modernized in its spelling and abbreviated to The Obedience of a Christian Man. It was first published by Merten de Keyser in Antwerp, and is best known for advocating that the king of a country was the head of that country's church, rather than the pope, and to be the first instance, in the English language at any rate, of advocating the divine right of kings, a concept mistakenly attributed to the Catholic Church.

Book of the Law of the Lord The Book of the Law of the Lord is the most sacred book of scripture by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Strangite). It is alleged to be a translation by the Strangite prophet James Strang of the Plates of Laban, originally acquired by Nephi, a leading character in the early portion of the Book of Mormon. Strang claimed to have translated them using the Urim and Thummim, which was used by Joseph Smith to translate the Book of Mormon. This indicates that while The Book of the Law was lost to the Old World during Israel's captivity in foreign lands, a copy was included in the plates Nephi took with him to the New World, thus preserving it.

Epiousios The unique word epiousios—a quote of Jesus Christ, and contained only in the Lord's Prayer ( and )—is not found anywhere else in the original scriptures of the Bible, nor anywhere else in all of ancient Greek literature, and so its meaning relies upon linguistic parsing. It is used solely as an adjective (Koine Greek: ἐπιούσιον) that qualifies the accompanying word "bread" (ἄρτος , "ártos").

Tracts for the Times The Tracts for the Times were a series of 90 theological publications, varying in length from a few pages to book-length, produced by members of the English Oxford Movement, an Anglo-Catholic revival group, from 1833 to 1841. There were about a dozen authors, including Oxford Movement leaders John Keble, John Henry Newman and Edward Bouverie Pusey, with Newman taking the initiative in the series, and making the largest contribution. With the wide distribution associated with the tract form, and a price in pennies, the "Tracts" succeeded in drawing attention to the views of the Oxford Movement on points of doctrine, but also to its overall approach, to the extent that "Tractarian" became a synonym for supporter of the movement.
