Resumen del Editor

Renowned for his hugely popular narration of the King James Bible, Christopher Glyn now brings his considerable inspirational talents to a unique new audiobook of the complete Catholic Bible. And it’s not just Christopher’s voice that will be familiar to listeners - because this recording comprises his complete reading of KJV with the addition of the deuterocanonical books of Tobit, Judith, 1 Maccabees, 2 Maccabees, Wisdom (Ecclesiasticus), Sirach and Baruch, as well as additions to the books of Esther and Daniel to make the original full complement of 77 books.

For those who aren’t familiar with the distinction, the additional works are those recognised by the Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox Churches as being part of scripture. Protestants, on the other hand, do not regard them as being divinely inspired, but do recognise them as important books to read.

Who better, then, to bring all these words of God to life than Christopher Glyn! Drawing on a 35-year career as a Christian broadcaster and narrator, he delivers these stories in a uniquely expressive style that is filled with wonder at the beauty and power of God’s Word, yet which is clear, natural and easy to understand.

God Bless This Book and God Bless all AMEN and Amen 🙏 God Bless Us All 🙏

Christopher Glyn is a very good reader

The only fault I've found so far is his machine-gun delivery of the genealogy lists. David Suchet is a better narrator, but only reads the NIV, which I don't like.

I mistakenly purchased quite a few Audible books just for the story, but cannot listen to because the reader is so bad. Rookie mistakes. I'm more careful now.

Outstanding

Phenomenal performance of a superb English translation—perhaps THE English translation. Highly recommended, especially for Catholics.

This is a literally a Catholic Bible.

You only show your ignorance by rating this beautiful piece of work with your one stars. I was actually looking for a NRSV Catholic Bible, but I was shocked to see these reviews. So I pulled the trigger and I am happy I did so. I have always loved the language of the KJV so I’m happy to see they have all of the deuterocanonical books in here, which is what makes a Catholic Bible a Catholic Bible. I have no idea who helped guide this particular translation but there is a multitude of Catholic Bibles. I encourage any and all to read outside of the New American, we hear that in 99% of our Liturgies. Go outside your lane sometimes, there is much to be learned. Experience the true fullness of The Faith. Keep it fresh, stay eager to learn, take any opportunity to study scripture.

God bless.

Great for people who have never read the Bible!

I recently decided to read the Bible and just couldn’t do the kjb alone for sake of it taking about 5 years. I did this in 2 months. Next I’m switching to a more modern language Bible to get another understanding. Includes the 7 books the Protestants decided were no good. I found them interesting and and a great part of the whole experience. Even if you don’t believe them to be inspired by God, why not read them anyway? There’s nothing blasphemous about them.

Catholic Bible in Shakespeareian English.

All the books are here. So, it gets the job done. My only problem is the "elegant" flowery language. It sounds like Shakespeare is reading the Bible to me. I definitely prefer more direct and plain language.

Spirit led reading. Very anointed.

I love the way he reads with emphasis and meaning. The Bible comes alive when he reads.

Excellent Catholic audio Bible.

This is an excellent audio Bible, containing all the canonical books as defined at Trent, very well narrated with easy navigation between chapters. With respect to the negative reviews, yes, it is the King James Version. But there is no prohibition on Catholics reading the KJV, which is for the most part a fine translation. True, many Protestants read the KJV, but that does not make it a "Protestant Bible" (as if our scriptures were different). The biggest problem with most KJV Bibles is that they are missing books, but this one, as accurately described in the product description, is not. No, it's not the same translation as the lectionary, but that is no mark against it. In fact, unless you are going to read the original Hebrew and Greek, it is better to jump around between different quality translations, since no single translation will fully capture the sense of the original text. This audio Bible is great way to grow in one's familiarity with the Word.

It’s the Holy Word of God

Hearing the words helps to absorb Gods message more deeply. Will keep listening and hearing.

Exceptional

Narrator is outstanding. There’s no notes, music, mispronunciations…all things that mar audio bibles in my estimation. This is plain, unadorned reading if the Catholic kjv. The narrator’s accent elevates his exceptional cadence and elocution to re deer a thoroughly intelligent, enjoyable, and exceptional listening experience. Thank you to whomever produced this in this manner.
