Editorial reviews

Why we think it's Essential: The Bible's stories were meant to be heard. They are powerful accounts of passion and drama. This recording, with an all-star cast, glorious music, and full sound effects, weaves the stories into a rich and compelling theatrical presentation. Whether you know the Bible well or haven't read it in quite some time, you will be captivated by this edition. — Beth Anderson

I love this

My husband and I started listening to the The bible experience together. It was great. We followed along with our bibles. I look forward to listening to this for a long time coming. It is not boring The narrators are really playing the role. It was like listening to a stage play. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I like Old Testament perfomance better,

This really brought the Bible to life, however, The Old Testament had more of an African feel to it and the New felt like it had a European feel to it. That I did not like at all. But it was still powerful. I know they were under Roman influence, by this time, but they had not lost their African/Hebrew ways about them yet.

Excellent Audio

Would you listen to Inspired By...The Bible Experience again? Why?

I would listen again and again...the accounts come alive with words, expressions and sounds of the surroundings that transport the listener to the time and place. The events are memorable and lasting and the context is more clearly understood listening as the events unfold in the Gospels.
