Publisher's summary

In a voice as rich as it is recognized, James Earl Jones lends his award-winning acting and iconic narrative talents to the King James Version of the Holy Bible’s New Testament. This newly updated recording from Topics Media Group has had the previous edition’s music background score removed entirely to allow the listener to more easily hear and appreciate the Scripture. 

This skilled and resonating interpretation by Mr. Jones has been hailed as one of the greatest spoken-word New Testament recordings of all-time. With more than a half a million copies sold to date, this audio masterwork is certain to soothe, satisfy, and inspire.

The thundering voice of James Earl Jones.

The thundering voice of James Earl Jones is captivating. His voice is authoritative and it's perfect when he reads as Christ, Paul and others.

The Word of God

Love the New Testament! The narrator did a perfect job and I thoroughly enjoyed hearing it even after having read the bible several times before. The Testament flows beautifully as I listened while walking two miles a day. The cohesion of each book and chapter was smooth and I gained more edification and wisdom.
