The New English Standard Version translation is founded on the belief that the words of the Bible are the very words of God. Setting itself apart from other translations by sacrificing neither accuracy nor readability, the ESV is an "essentially literal" translation that seeks to duplicate the original texts while taking into account the differences between modern English and the original languages.

Relying on the work of more than 50 Bible scholars, as well as the input of a 60-member, multi-denominational Advisory Council, the translation committee chaired by J.I. Packer realized its goals of word-for-word precision and accuracy, literary excellence and readability, and depth of meaning. Written in language beautiful enough to be used for public reading, clear enough for preaching and devotions, and trustworthy enough for academic study, the ESV sets a new standard, and is truly a Bible for all people.

Need to find another audio Bible that has the books of the Bible listed. This audio only has Chapter numbers listed with no reference to what part of the Bible to which they correlate.

Needed to have the books of the Bible labeled

What does Marquis Laughlin bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Expressive timing and intonation that seems appropriate to the content.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No, one book at a time.

Expressive, but not too dramatic

It was very hard to get around in the book though I didn't always know what chapter I was in Or if I wanted to listen to something in particular it was impossible to find it

It's the word of god so it's perfect

I have never heard this version before. I enjoyed listening to it and liked the authority in his voice as he reads the Lords words.

The Holy Bible: New Testament

The reader used a stereotypical "God" voice which sounded angry and self-righteous. I found this to be very distracting and also contrary to the way that Jesus Christ is usually portrayed.

Disappointed ...

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
It is only the New Testament and doesn’t even allow me to find specific books or chapters— it is in “Chapter 2” and is essentially Matthew 5 and on, which makes no sense unless your purpose in ordering this version is to merely listen and not have a reference of where you heard what was spoken. Biblically, it is good to know where things are written and to meditate on those things so this is definitely not an audio version you’ll want if you desire to study or refer back to passages.

Not segmented by chapters or books; only the NT

What would have made The Holy Bible better?

Unfortunately, the producers have arbitrarily created chapters that have nothing to do with the books and chapters of the New Testament. Therefore, the listener is unable to select particular books (Matthew, Mark, I Corinthians etc.) and listen selectively. I wonder if the producers have ever studied or read the Bible. The New Testament is composed of multiple books and epistles (letters) written by various authors. Most readers(listeners) will want to listen to selected chapters of particular books of the New Testament.

What could Various have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Organize the table of contents to reflect the actual books and chapters of the New Testament like every written version.

What didn’t you like about Marquis Laughlin’s performance?

Good performance.

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

Will not listen to this version due to the lack of organized table of contents.

Poorly Organized
