As with most translations of the English Bible, the principal objection of the High Church elements of the Church of England to the Geneva Bible, was not the translation, but rather the marginalia that contextualised and shaped reading and comprehension. The main issue for the Episcopalian Church, was the move by Calvinism towards Presbyterianism, and with it, the removal of the Bishops' jobs. Unfortunately, the Great Bible - the one authorised English Bible - was deficient and translated from the Vulgate, rather than the original tongues. Legendary Archbishop of Canterbury, Matthew Parker, accordingly pushed for a new translation, which became known as the Bishops' Bible after its originators. Parker was not as driven when it came to supervising the general quality of translation however, and this varies wildly from book to book.

The Bible was originally published in 1568, heavily revised in 1572, and incrementally revised from there on, until it was replaced by the Authorised Version. It was not as popular as the Geneva Bible, but was not intended to be a general Bible, but rather a Church-focused, authorised tool for accepted worship. This was the Bible of Church doctrine, not personal religion. Despite later criticism, the Bishops' Bible remains an important step in the development of the English Church. This was a Bible that was meant to be heard by the common folk in a language they could understand - a direct contrast to previous prohibitions. This desire directly influenced its much more popular successor, the KJV, whose translators saw themselves as making a good translation better. The Bishops' Bible is sometimes known as the "Treacle Bible" for the curious translation of Jeremiah 8:22 as "Is there not treacle at Gilead?"
