Discover the language of the Reformation
Long before the Bible in English became commonplace, a handful of determined scholars and printers helped bring Scripture into the language of ordinary people.
Our Reformed Refined Word Search collection celebrates that heritage through three landmark editions of the English Bible. Each book offers olde words to discover, and beside each Olde English word is its modern-day equivalent. There are forty words per puzzle, with twenty from each generation of the language.
Three editions, three perspectives on a remarkable period in the history of English Scripture.
Whether you're fascinated by Bible history, enjoy word puzzles, or simply love discovering the origins of familiar words, there's something here for you.
Travel through time triptych.
Presenting the ‘Bible in English’ journey
as a collection of word search puzzles,
each of which commemorates a major
step in the progress of the language of
Scripture in the English-speaking world.
The Tyndale Quincentenary
The Matthew’s Bible
The Geneva Bible
The Tyndale Quincentenary
The pioneer. The beginning of a revolution.
William Tyndale's New Testament in English first appeared in print in 1526. His determination to make Scripture accessible in the language of ordinary people helped transform the course of English Bible history.
Five centuries later, we celebrate his legacy with 500 words drawn from the language of his time, rediscovered through their modern equivalents.
The Matthew’s Bible
The torchbearer. A legacy carried forward.
John Rogers, writing under the name Thomas Matthew, brought together the work of Tyndale and Coverdale to produce a complete English Bible in 1537.
This edition celebrates Rogers and the continuation of the Reformation's most important literary undertaking: bringing the Scriptures to English readers.
The Pilgrim’s Bible
The Reformers. A new chapter in English Scripture.
First published in 1560 by English Protestant scholars in Geneva, this remarkable Bible became one of the most influential English editions of the Reformation.
To properly recognise that legacy, the Geneva Edition has 50 word search puzzles featuring 1,000 Olde English words; a deeper journey into the language that shaped generations of English readers., the Pilgrim’s Bible carried the Reformation's English-language legacy into a new generation; and a New World.
