What was the book carried forth by the Gentiles?

Thomas R. Valletta

“We note that the early settlers of America, including the Puritans [and] Pilgrims, and also early Catholic settlers, brought with them the Bible. … Those on the Mayflower brought a Geneva Bible [1560, 1599]. … This was the same translation that … came before the King James Version was in wide circulation. Many of the Catholic immigrants to America brought the English version of the Vulgate, known as the Rheims-Douai version and was translated into English in 1582, a few years before the King James Version and at about the same time as the other Protestant Bibles” (Matthews, “Establishing the Truth of the Bible,” 203–4).
