18th Century Bibles
About us
Our goal at 18thCenturyBibles.org is to preserve the historical accuracy of the great Christian literature of the 1700s and to present this literature to as many Living History enthusiasts as possible. We have been working toward this goal since October 2007. Since that time, we have scanned, cleaned up, and handcrafted numerous replicas of the following books:
1671 The History of ye Bible in Cutts (scanned from our original 1715 Bible)
1697 John Playford Psalter (with music notation throughout)
1715 King James (Old Testament)
1733 King James (New Testament)
1733 King James Bible
1734 Book of Common Prayer
1767 Isaac Watt’s Hymnal
We also reproduce around 95 different Christian pamphlets from the 18th century.
The process of scanning and cleaning up the text of our original books takes months and months. Once each book is scanned, it then takes about one hundred hours to complete the numerous steps involved in creating and binding the thinner books and up to two hundred hours to complete our 1733 King James Bible. Over the last four and a half years, we have completed over six hundred books and thousands of pamphlets. We continue to purchase originals as they become available.
We are currently working on several Psalters used by the Church before, during and after the 18th century. In the future, we intend to reproduce additional popular books and pamphlets such as Pilgrim's Progress, Foxes Book of Martyrs, Gulliver’s Travels and more.

A couple of years ago, we started a private Facebook group page for those who reenact as 18th century parsons, minister's wives, chaplains, ministers, priests etc. This group is by invitation only. While the name of the members of this group are public, the contents of our posts remain private. We want this group to be an encouragement to fellow members as well as a source of information for those who want to develop or improve their own 18th century parson's persona. We currently have... show more 49 members in this group. Our parson page is: www.facebook.com/groups/18thCenturyBibles

Taylor S. asked:Does anyone happen to attend a church or organization that is still around from the time of George Washington's death? If so, I am looking for primary sources for a paper that I am writing on the average, everyday person's response to the news of his death. This includes parades, store/town closings and especially any type of religiosity such as prayers, eulogies, sermons, diaries, etc. I need local stuff. I've made a lot of calls and they all tell me to go to the internet, but I have what I need from obvious sources. I need LOCAL stuff. Can anyone help me? I would greatly appreciate any help that you can give me!Bruce J. replied:Hey sorry haven't chk in a bit see if you can log on here https://www.facebook.com/18 thCenturyBibles
