Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Famed actor Gregory Peck narrates, reading with sensitivity and power from the King James Version, a biblical translation of sublime poetic beauty. Whether you're a newcomer or an experienced Bible reader, this audio version will bring you hours of timely inspiration. The parables and lessons of the New Testament resonate through much of our religious, literary and cultural history. The New Testament, composed of twenty-seven books starts with the four Gospels which record the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. Written by the disciples of Jesus Christ, this work is a source of wisdom and solace for millions around the world. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

From AudioFile
This reading of the King James translation of the New Testament comes across as flat and tired, lacking the inspiration one would expect from an actor with the stature of Gregory Peck. The production is plain, without any sound effects, music, or supplemental material. While these factors don't necessarily make an audiobook good or bad, coupled with weak sound reproduction and a worn-out performance, they make this an altogether dull listening experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gregory Peck's voice is perfect, August 27, 1999
By A Customer
I only listened to part of one tape, but I was impressed and am considering buying it. The content is, of course, amazing. But the words are delivered by the deep sound of Gregory Peck, who somehow sounds like he actually went back in time and experienced what he's reading. It's authoritative! I felt like I was listening to a prophet, not an actor.

5.0 out of 5 stars Narration makes this Bible truly delightful!, July 12, 1998
By A Customer
This audio version of the Bible makes the New Testament easily accessible to everyone. Both the tone and pace of delivery make it great when travelling, walking, driving or just meditating. You can also grab your Bible and read along. The narration is very soothing and makes reading the Bible a lot of fun. I highly recommend this audio series

4.0 out of 5 stars Just what I was looking for!, October 4, 2002
By Carl Cravens (Wichita, KS USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Audiofile may think that the performance is "tired", but Peck's reading of the New Testament is exactly what I wanted. No musical score, no cast of thousands; no overblown, Shakespearean dramatization. Just God's word, read clearly and simply. Gregory Peck was a fine choice, and I never tired of hearing his voice.

The only reason I rate this 4 stars instead of 5 is that I would prefer the NIV or even the NKJV over the KJV, but this is the only version that Audible.com carries (as of 10/2002).
