Most narrators are good, but Matthew 16 too hard to understand.

need to rerecord the chapters read by the person who did chapter 16. was very frustrating because I could not understand him a lot of the time.

I absolutely love this audiobook version of the Bible! Many of the people reading really get into it, changing their voices when reading what this person and that are saying to each other in dialogue. I listen to this anytime. Going to bed, just wanting something to listen to during the day, doesn't matter. I highly recommend the World English Bible for anyone at any age! 😁😁😁
Great Translation to English

Accurate translation, and mostly good readers of the Bible. Old and New Teastament come in separate books. I prefer the ESV APP availible on playstore. But both are free and very similar. strong 5 stars!
Uncopyrighted Bible

This Bible can quote whole books and more than 500 verses without breaking the law, gifted to the public domain. It's even in modern English! Plus, the New Testament is less likely to skip verses because it's a revision of the archaic American Standard Version which used the Majority Greek Text from hardcopied manuscripts, like the Greek church still uses today, rather than the most-edited version by modern scholars that found differences on very old papyrus in a monetary basement trash heap that say, "The old is better, and the missing verses must be more original." But that's a very hot topic and can of worms over about, what, 22 verses different? I don't recall the number, but between the two, it's about 95% or the same, minus two paragraphs, as I recall. Ask someone with a photographic memory, to be sure.

new testament - the heavy Jamaican accent made it a waste of time.
this book is anti-christian
Bill Cosby
It contains a lot of heretical material that is contrary to racial justice and equality. It depicts Christ as being a war monger who supported slavery and racial discrimination. Examples include the parable of the cannanite women. Also his admonishion of not bringing peace but the sword make Christ to be the very unchristian. The emerging church needs to rewrite the gospel to make it more Christian. Rather than talking about cursing fig trees, we can have Christ righteously smitting cis gendered white males. Rather than saving the prostitute from being stoned we can have Christ stoning Christians for not using the proper pronouns to accurately describe nonbinary individuals. This book needs to be banned untill it is rewritten to accurately depict Jesus as the character atheists in Reddit believe him to be.
