INSPIRED BY . . . THE BIBLE EXPERIENCE New Testament

THE BIBLE EXPERIENCE is just that—an experience—that bypasses many of the previous Bible recordings with a full show of music, sound effects, and a dazzling array of celebrity voices. The producers from Inspired By Media Group put together a cast of more than 80 African-American actors who deliver a rich, diverse rendering of the contemporary Today’s New International Version (TNIV) translation in gospel-meeting style. Listeners are treated to a sort of aural kaleidoscope with layers of voices, sound, and music overlapping and occasionally colliding. The lavish production pulls out all the stops, so this is not a Bible recording for purists. If a modern multimedia production “experience” is what you’re after, enjoy the fine voices and often dynamic dramatized readings. The “making of” DVD disc is an entertaining extra. R.F.W.
