  • Why is the THE BIBLE IN LIVING SOUND only audio and not an animated video?

    The producer of THE BIBLE IN LIVING SOUND felt strongly that after reading the Bible or hearing the audio Bible stories, that each person has their own idea of what Moses looked like, what it was like to see ravens feeding Elijah, what Queen Esther was experiencing as she went before the king and what it could have been like for Jesus as He carried His own cross. God works on each person's heart to understand what God is impressing on each person. To animate a Bible story into video puts an artist's idea or view of that Biblical person into another person's mind and imagination. Through the power of reading the Bible and listening to the Bible stories, God moves the listener's heart to individually understand what God wants them to learn and know. Through audio, the Bible stories come alive with professional voices, music and sound effects!

    Professional actors were hired by THE BIBLE IN LIVING SOUND to record the voices of the Biblical characters.
