#Theatrical and Inspiring (2008-11-12) As a devout Christian, I love and revere the Word of God. This dramatization of the New Testament, though loaded with star power (not all of whom are necessarily Christian), generally strikes just the right balance of reverence and drama. Stacy Keach as Paul is a special standout, and I defy you not to weep as he reads the Pastoral Epistles!Though occasionally I take issue with Jim Caviezel s line readings as Jesus (he sometimes comes off as uncertain, a quality I doubt Christ Jesus has ever possessed), and though I m mildly disappointed that Mic...

#Good but not Great audio translation of the New testament. (2008-10-22) I kinda agree with a few other reviews of this product. i hate to give only 4 stars to a positive learning experience of GODS WORD. Overall it is a very good production. My only complaints are these. 1. )Some of the actors chosen are actors not narrators. meaning this. if they are in a movie they can be seen and heard, live out the parts. when you only get audio, most of these actors do not have strong enough voices to carry their parts. 2. )There are no points to tell you where you are in a book. all you...

#Read the Bible yourself (2008-10-21) With all the cast of actors, music, and sound effects I was expecting to be blown away. Instead, I am finding that the choice of actors to play certain parts just does not seem to be a good match. When they speak you say to yourself, that is not how I would have imagined John the Baptist. Also, I don t feel the actors were putting a lot of effort into the performance. I found myself constantly comparing the performances in this audio production to films like Jesus of Nazareth and The 10 Commandments, no comparison. It was a good attempt,...

#The New Testament Comes to Life (2008-10-13) As a conservative Christian layman, I have found this breathes new life into the Scriptures. I was looking for the New Testament on CD and found this dramatic reading of the NKJV. What can I say? Just a reading of the cover will tell you of the great talents involved in this wonderful effort. I came away after listening to the entire set feeling as if I had watched an epic motion picture (and you can t quit, you are compelled to listen to one book after the other). It is not only a great witnessing tool, it is great for Bible study and e...

#Everyone should have the Word of Promise (2008-10-09) The Word of Promise is fun to listen to because of the multimedia production which includes numerous voices and sound effects. I am surprised that I haven t seen any media advertisement on this project. If people knew it was available, they would buy it. Great to listen to in the car.

#Reading Scripture with the Orthodox (2008-11-22) Mention theosis to the average Reformation Christian, and you ll get an earful. Mention the filioque to a history-minded Roman Catholic and expect a short lecture. But frankly, most Western Christians knowledge of Orthodox theology and practice is remarkably thin. Remarkable because the Orthodox preserve traditions going back to those found in the Didache and other ancient Christian manuals. Now, mention Orthodox Bible study, and there are probably more than a few Orthodox who will think you ve confused them with Evangelicals. No mo...

#Connecting to Early Christianity (2008-11-18) In the past month, [. . . . . ] has had visitors from six other countries and thirty-two other states. The internet is an incredible avenue of communication that reminds us we live in a global context. Sometimes we need this kind of geographical reminder. It puts my culture and worldview in perspective, when I realize there are other Christians spread throughout the earth. In much the same way it is important for us to realize that Christianity has been around for about two millenniums now. Sometimes we need to be reminded that we ...

#Appreciative Anglican (2008-10-26) Not having had the New Testament only version of this study Bible, I couldn t compare the study notes. But I love this Bible. The study notes are not the over-intellectual factoid based fare found in most study Bibles. The overwhelming focus of most of the comments seems to be This is how this verse relates to Jesus, His ministry and His Church. The editors are not shy about their belief that the Orthodox Church is the Only True Church but,as an Anglican, I can enjoy the faithful insights of the Church Fathers, the wonderful icons, and the bonu...

#PRELIMINARY REVIEW (2008-10-05) Normally I don t do this. . . I ll give a product a good going over before I review it. However this is on order as a gift from a family member, but I couldn t wait, I saw it in the store and thumbed through it for a few minutes. My initial impressions appear here. Set aside the controversy you ve been seeing on here (granted, I m Catholic, not Orthodox, so I might be missing something). This is a translation of the Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), and the New Testament is the New King James Version. This is a nice hardcover Bible, with some big co...

#Marvelous Source of Biblical and Patristic Wisdom (2008-09-15) The Orthodox Study Bible is a marvelous source of Biblical and Patristic wisdom for which Orthodox Christians have waited with great eagerness. We do, however, miss the red lettering of the words of our Lord as found in the New Testament which preceded this wonderful work. I can not praise this resource enough! Congratulations to all who worked on it.

#The New Testament (2008-09-30) I am on the road a lot and it benefits me greatly to listen to the New Testament while driving. The soothing voice reading and the background of classical Christian hymns uplifts my spirit and keeps my mind on what is really important, so I do not get angry at other drivers. That is a good thing!!

#Missing CD 12 (2008-08-28) I bought this to listen to while driving. I have enjoyed it. However,there was one problem. I received two copies of CD #11 and no CD#12. James Earl Jones does a great job, but I could have done without some of the music.

#James Earl Jones Reads the Bible (2008-08-18) I am on the road a lot and sometimes miss my Bible Reading, this really is a wonderful way to stay connected to the Lord.

#Wonderful (2008-07-10) So well presented with James Earl Jones magnificent voice and soft music in the background. The Word of God is so pwerful.

#audio Bible KJV (2008-05-28) I like it. I grew up w/ the King James Version. There is music in the background. They are hymns done very quietly and are not obtrusive, but there are only about 10-15 of them. If you like all the hymns you d be fine w/ it. I was not expecting the music and thought at first I would not like it, but the hymns seem to have been selected for specific texts so I am now glad they are included. I have only found 2 voiceos (similar to typos ). Out of the whole New Testament, I guess we can allow him 2 wrong words.

#scratched cover (2008-10-27) Bible size and font size are great, but I received this product in its original packaging and there was a big scratch across the cover. I wanted to have it embossed and given as a gift, but had to buy another bible at a book store so I could guarantee the quality. I was very disappointed.

#Easy To Read Bible (2008-09-10) The print in this bible is perfect. It is easy to read! The Bible is Ultra Slim which is nice. I would recommend this for anyone who has difficulty reading small print!

#Not large (2008-09-06) Th use of the expressions [LARGE PRINT] and (Leather Bound) are misleading, as pointed out by earlier reviewers. I am now selling the book, unread.

#NKJV Large Print UltraSlim Bible (2008-06-19) Excellent bible. Very easy to read, nicely bound with leather covers. A joy to transport. I ve owned many bibles and this is, for sure, one of my favorites.

#Seller very trust worthy (2008-06-07) My purchase from this seller was purchased one week after two other purchases from other sellers. This one arrived two days later. I thought it was one of the other orders and was amazingly surprised when it was the one I just purchased. Book was in excellant condition. Never even opened and much cheaper than anyone else for the same book. I expected it to have been at least opened. It never was. I recommend purchase from this buyer and will look for them again on my next purchase. THANK YOU!

#Excellent Reading (2008-10-05) I ve read the Bible before but never have I understood its real meaning like I do now. The footnotes below explaining each passage are extremely helpful and the messages are great for thought.

#Great Bible (2008-06-11) This is a great Bible. The footnotes, maps, biographies of Biblical personalities, etc. really help in my understanding the Word of God. Highly reccommended.

#Very good Bible (2008-05-15) This Bible is the best I have found as a study Bible. It has so many things like outlines, maps and anything to make your study better and more understandable. I order myself and my friend one. She loves hers also. I highly recommend this Bible.
