The Revised Geneva Translation (based on Shakespeare's favorite Bible translation) was borne of an actor’s need to memorize and speak Scripture out loud with specific meanings and inflections.

This Revised Geneva Audio Bible is the BEST audio Bible I have ever heard!
Revisado: 04-04-25
Five Talents Audio produced this (fivetalentsaudio.com). As far as I can tell, the RGT is the effort of Steve Cook and Robert Bagley. I am used to reading Bibles translated by "committee." So, I have been especailly careful to examine this project, paying particular attention to accuracy. It is tied to the text version, I mean "written book," versions (non-audio) of "Holy Scriptures Contained in the Old and New Testaments - Revised Geneva Translation), a Bible. I was so thrilled with the text version that I bought a second one, despite the $50 cost (I'm used to buying inexpensive outreach Bibles). I have come to see the RGT as a superior translation to the KJV (King James). I find the Geneva, in general, makes the Word of God more understandable, which seem strange since the Geneva is NOT a modern translation, it actually pre-dates the KJV. However, the Revised Geneva is special and helpful because it does update the language to modern English YET while remaining faithful to the original text of the Geneva, which is written in Middle English, complete with the "long s" which looks like an "f" and with "v" meaning "u" and with "j" meaning "i." You will certainly understand if you ever buy a 1560 Geneva. The RGT is based on the 1599 Geneva, which still pre-dates the KJV of 1611. Now, sorry about the long introduction - on to the RGT audio Bible itself - It is easy to see that this project was one of love and devotion. Maximum effort has been made, and it shows. This qualifies as a "dramatized version" and it has been said somewhere that it was meant to be read in "Shakespearean" fashion. The result is wonderful - and never boring. While it does, in rare parts, seems to have been done OVER-dramatically, the majority of the reading absolutely "nails it" - it is so well done, you could even say, "glorious." May God reward the producers of both the text and audio versions of the RGT. I will say that, in the text version, there are some proofreading errors in Matthew, very minor things which do not affect the meaning of the text in any way. I sent an email to Steve. I feel certain this will eventually be worked out. I tend to be a perfectionist - however, these minor imperfections are no reason to discard the RGT. There have been times, since I am so used to the KJV, that I will wonder whether something has been accurately translated in the RGT, but then I will go to the original, Middle English 1560 version of the Geneva to double check it, and it is absolutely accurate and faithfully translated. I still think the KJV is very good but when I compare it to the Geneva, I find the language is clearer. Much clearer. I don't see how anyone could regret buying a copy of the RGT Audio Bible, nor the book version (print version) of the RGT. I am very glad I did buy them.

The reality of racism is precisely upside down and backwards…
Revisado: 08-02-23
While I certainly did already understand that the Communists deliberately fan the flames of malice between races, Manning’s writing enabled me to understand how pervasive this has been in America - and for how long. This is one of those wonderful and dear books that shows the reader that reality is not at all what s/he had thought or previously perceived. Understanding the truth is nearly always liberating and Manning Johnson has done a masterful job at eloquently revealing that truth. The narrator, Darnel Stone, has an absolutely beautiful male voice - in a sense, you could say it is “masculinely elegant.” However, some of the word and name pronunciations were a bit unorthodox for a mid-Western English major like myself. This book was published in 1958, six years prior to John A. Stormer’s anti-Communist book called “None Dare Call It Treason.” Please remember that the words used to describe African Americans at that time will sound like a sour note to the modern ear but in that culture at that time it was generally acceptable.
