History & Background

The Darby Bible was produced by John Nelson Darby, founder of the Plymouth Brethren movement, over several decades and published posthumously in 1890. Highly literal and precise, Darby translated directly from the Hebrew and Greek with minimal regard for readability in favor of accuracy. It remains foundational in dispensationalist theology.
