Ruby Dee delivers the Ten Commandments with her husband Ossie Davis
Tammy Grimes tells the story of the burning bush
Rabbi Harold Kushner tells the story of Moses
A live recording of readings from the Bible - accompanied by music - by leaders in the arts, literature, and politics
At the heart of Everett Fox's acclaimed new translation of The Five Books of Moses, which has received wide support from both Christian and Jewish authorities, is the notion that the Bible was meant to be read aloud.
And so it was on the evening of December 18, 1995, when musicians, statesmen, theologians, writers, and actors came together to celebrate the true meaning of the holiday season with a reading from The Schocken Bible at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City. This special evening is forever commemorated in this live recording.
This Random House AudioBook is an exclusive production, and a unique way for individuals and families alike to share in readings from the Bible. It is certain to be an important part of holiday celebrations for many generations to come.
