African-American Stars Recording the Bible

In an attempt to dramatize scripture in a new way, a collection of African-American stars from Hollywood are coming together to record a new audiobook recording of the Bible.

The audio Bible, to be released in November on 72 CDs and on iTunes, features an all-black cast of more than 200 actors, singers and clergy, officials said Tuesday. The dramatic performances are set to an original musical score performed by the Prague Symphony Orchestra.

The cast also includes Denzel Washington, Angela Bassett and Cuba Gooding Jr.

This new recording is based on Todays New International Version, which is NOT what we are quizzing on, but is still good for Bible study.
