"The narration of these stories from the Bible maintains their dignity while creating a startling immediacy. Martin Jarvis's voice as he reads David's lament for Jonathan and Saul prickles the skin. …The selection of stories is excellent, producing a tremendous narrative drive. Whether believer or non-believer, the listener cannot fail to be entranced." --The London Observer

"…Jarvis gives the people of the New Testament - doubters, disciples et al. - a profound and refreshing humanity that breathes life into the familiar story while never for a moment diminishing its power." --The London Times

The King James Bible as it was meant to be heard, told by actors who are masters of the Elizabethan idiom. This is a carefully chosen selection of the best-known, most important stories of the King James Bible. Beginning with the story of creation, and culminating with an excerpt from Revelations, this anthology is a beautifully narrated treasure. Half of the stories are from the Old Testament, half from the New Testament. The brilliant, sensitive readings are accessible to listeners of all ages. Each performer reads individual stories in their entirety.
