Synopsis
THE BIBLE EXPERIENCE breaks new ground in the presentation of the Bible. Unique among audio Bible productions, THE BIBLE EXPERIENCE is a captivating performance of the Bible, presented by a stellar ensemble of today's top-name actors, musicians, clergy, directors and award-winning producers. The historic production also features a cinematic musical score, unparalled sound design and the highest production values.
The star-studded cast of almost 400 performers, includes 2007 Academy Award-winning actor Forest Whitaker as the voice of Moses, along with Angela Bassett (Esther), Cuba Gooding, Jr. (Jonah), Denzel and Pauletta Washington (Song of Songs), LL Cool J (Samson), Eartha Kitt (Serpent), Bishop T.D. Jakes (Abraham), Blair Underwood (Jesus), Samuel Jackson (God, NT only), and Bishop Eddie L. Long (Joel) among others.
The Bible Experience uses Zondervan's most accessible and up-to-date translation, Today's New International Version (TNIV), and includes dramatic performances set to an original musical underscore by the Prague Symphony Orchestra and Hollywood-style sound design created at Technicolor Studios.
Review
The Complete Bible Experience on audio with a wide variety of top notch actors and actresses is to say the least - brilliant. You actually feel like you are in the action as you listen to the actors speak.
It is a great way of taking on board all the biblical stories although I really wish the authors had used the NIV and not the TNIV. The changes are subtle but sometimes the subtlety can change the meaning of a whole verse. Apart form that I can only highly recommend these audio cds as a great way to find out about the bible. It's actually like having your own theatre group perform in front of you!
