About this listen

In a voice as rich as it is recognized, James Earl Jones lends his award-winning acting and iconic narrative talents to the King James Version of the Holy Bible’s New Testament. This newly updated recording from Topics Media Group has had the previous edition’s music background score removed entirely to allow the listener to more easily hear and appreciate the Scripture.

This skilled and resonating interpretation by Mr. Jones has been hailed as one of the greatest spoken-word New Testament recordings of all-time. With more than a half a million copies sold to date, this audio masterwork is certain to soothe, satisfy, and inspire.

James Earl John is marvellous, except for rather fast delivery. The background music is a distraction, but you can get used to it. I have, but it took all of Matthew.

the bible and music

The Narrator I know has the perfect voice but continues to read Matthew 1 at every command. I have not gone beyond Matthew 1. I'm very frustrated.

Mind-numbingly boring. What a waste of an amazing voice actor. I thought he'd at least do a few voices for the characters but it's like he's not even trying.

absolutely terrible

The voice of Mr. Jones is very good. However, it was a bit too soft and reverential for my taste. Would it not have been better if it carried a bit more punch and authority?

However, that's a minor quibble when compared to the accompanying 'music'. It was spectacularly horrendous. Saccharine nonsense that destroyed the recording. (And that piano!)

It was the King James bible. Could we not have some music from that period to accompany it? Something appropriate. The english is beautiful and powerful, but how can we listen to it when it's accompanied by that noise?

Voice good, music terrible.
