Monday, September 29, 2003 AD Audio Bible Idea I'd like to have a recorded Bible on CD, but I can't find one I like. I think what bugs me is that they all seem to be recorded by actors who, well, act. Blech. What I'd love is a Bible read by pastors who would (one would hope) not be acting, but ministering the Word with love for it and faith in it. Wouldn't it be cool to do a recording with a bunch of pastors reading various parts of the Bible? It could all be done pretty cheap, I think, with volunteer labor. The KJV is public domain, and a good translation for listening, even if it's imperfect. Most churches do sermon tapes, so the recording equipment is pretty readily available. There should be some sort of audition process, to select guys with clear voices who don't talk too slow or too fast. We wouldn't need to aim for perfection...if somebody stumbles over a sentence, that's OK, just re-read it. It would mostly take some time and some organization to get the actual recording done. The names of the readers could remain anonymous so as not to be a distraction. The distibution might be time-consuming, and there would be a minimal charge or, better yet, a recommended donation and a give-what-you-can policy to cover the recording costs. Sound interesting to anybody else? Posted by Valerie (Kyriosity) at 9/29/2003 10:45:00 PM
