Editorial Review:
Hear the words of the Bible brought to life like never before. Inspired By… The Bible Experience: New Testament Audio CD is a fully-dramatized reading of the complete Bible performed by an unprecedented ensemble of distinguished African-American actors, musicians, and personalities. The cast includes such recognizable voices as: • Denzel Washington • Blair Underwood • Angela Bassett • Juanita Bynum • Shirley Caesar • Kirk Franklin and more. The dramatization is further enriched by an original musical score composed by Grammy award–winning producers. And the recording is truly contemporary, using the accessible and trusted Today’s New International Version (TNIV) of the Bible. The features of The Bible Experience provide a rich listening experience, helping you hear the words of Scripture as if for the first time. The Bible Experience is available in both traditional and mp3 CD formats. Every TNIV Zondervan Bible you purchase helps International Bible Society translate and give Bibles to people in need around the world.
Inspired By The Bible Experience: New Testament Reviews:
Makes a nice gift 
2008-06-17 - I gave this as a gift and my mother-in-law loved it. I started to listen to the first CD. I wasn't impressed, but as a gift, it was a hit.
AWESOME EXPERIENCE
2008-03-14 - I'm so proud of this project, I listen to this almost daily in my car when I'm traveling and when I pick up my children. my kids even love the dramatic reading of God's word. Blair Underwood is so underated, he reads Jesus words with love and compassion. this is a great investment..I do wish it was done in the king james version though..but this is fine. Will be reviewing the Old testament soon...Love It!!
Brings the New Testament to Life in Your Heart
2008-02-05 - This recording provides an awe-inspiring experience for Christians. It's like walking with Jesus and listening to his teachings. Later, you'll find yourself in prison with a chained Paul as he sends his letters of love and admonition to the various churches.
There's only so much spiritual growth you can gain by merely reading the Bible. You also need to feel it deep inside your heart. To access your heart in this way, I strongly recommend listening to this recording which re-enacts the New Testament in the Today's New International Version. With music, sound effects, and excellent pacing, reading these sections of the Bible will never be the same for you.
These aren't just any performers: They are an all-star cast of some of your favorite performers. The excellence of their performances helps the words ascend towards heaven.
I intend to listen to these performances again and again. I'm sure you will, too!
Great Reading, So-So production 
2008-01-24 - I was very excited when I first got these recordings. I've put them on my iPod. The readers are fantastic. They definately add the needed emotion and inflection to the Word. Where the production falls short is the periodic musical breaks. Every few minutes there is a song that is interjected into the text. It usually has little to do with the text and is rather distracting. Also, it's all black gospel. Don't get me wrong, it's good music, but it's definately not my style. Zondervan should really consider alternate versions with different music styles. But this is all or nothing. I've found it distracting to the point that I'm getting little out of the scripture I've just heard.
Definately worth a try, but be warned. If you don't like black gospel, or don't want your scripture interrupted by song, look for another version.
A must have!!!
2008-01-21 - The Bible Experience (Complete Bible) was by far one of the best purchases that I've ever made! This is such a powerful piece work that I even purchased a 2nd set of cd's for another family member. I'd recommend it to anyone!
