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.

Beautiful and Spiritual

After reading several reviews I thought this Bible reading was going to be awful. Because I study and know the word I decided to listen to it. It was beautiful. The musical compositions were majestic. For me, the music remained in the background. It played softly. Mr. Jones has a slight accent so I had to pay close attention to his words initially, but after I became used to the pronunciation of his words, they flowed harmoniously. Great Job. God Blessed this work!

It's the bible

Classic reading of the most important book in human history. To be knowledgeable of the scripture is not praise, but to be ignorant is a great shame.
