Scourby is the best choice of all current voices to do justice to the King James Bible. No music and no extras are needed. What a wonderful way to use extra time, especially if you have a cd player in your car!

This reading of the King James Version Bible by Alexander Scourby is a treasure! I own or have listened to most of the other audio Bibles out there and there just is no comparison. Scourby reads in a transparent manner that allows the Bible to come alive. With some audio Bibles I have a hard time listening through the reader's radio-announcer inflections to the underlying message. Not so with Scourby, he justly earns his title of the "Voice of the Bible".

I recommend this Audio CD highly. I don't believe you will be disappointed with it in any way.

Ever had trouble reading the King James version? Alexander Scorby is the reader here and makes the KJV even more enjoyable. His deep, smooth vocals are great for the long drive, to make your work-day go by quicker, to relax to at home, or as an aid in studying the Word. I highly recommend this to anyone who has any reason to reading the Bible.

I highly recommend these tapes, particularly for older or extremely busy people. You can pop them into your cassette while driving or in cassette player at home and listen to them while you are doing your house work. They make studying the Bible much easier and relaxing. The acting on these cassettes ranges from excellent to average. Thankfully, they spent the extra bucks to get high quality narrators to protray the Father and Jesus. Though both are extremely valuable, the New Testament segments seem better produced than the Old Testament segments. Quite obviously, the original author deserves considerable credit. The tapes cover the entire Old and New Testaments, but do not include the Apocrapha from the Catholic Bible, as this is the King James Version. I bought two sets.

The shipment was rec'd in brand new packaging. The cassettes are clear and easy listening. I purchased this for listening in my car and it is perfect.

As much as I appreciate the new translations such as Today's New International Version and the New Revised Standard Version, no audio Bible production compares (in my view) to Alexander Scourby's flawless reading of the KJV.
Other productions' background music, introductory commentary, variety of readers, and accessible modern English are valuable in their own right, but for sheer lyrical beauty, this is by far the best available.
Note also that Scourby's reading is available in both Old and New Testaments, not typically the case with the other translations.

I wonder when this will be available in CD format? My tapes have had it!
