There are some heavy hitters tasked with reading the Bible, like James Earl Jones or an entire ensamble of actors cast for each part. But this is probably the best narration I've heard. It's not just Cash's trademark voice, but a sincerity and immediacy, as if he's not narrating a book as much as telling you, personally, these stories of the Bible.
Ok. It's the New Testament and Johnny Cash is reading it. So of course it's wonderful. But I struggled with this edition (New King James) through the gospels. I didn't think it made much difference otherwise. Glad I picked it back up. Great way to re-encounter scripture.
