How to listen

Nine volumes are published and all of them are free. The narration is in English — worth knowing before you begin.

How they were made

The text was prepared separately for reading aloud. Verse numbers, on-screen badges, and the header notes were taken out of the narration, along with the parts — contents pages, original-language analysis — that break the flow when heard rather than seen. So from the cover onward you get the text alone, running clean.

The nine that exist — all in English

Matthew · Mark · Luke · John · Acts · Romans · 1 Corinthians · 2 Corinthians · Galatians. Part of the New Testament; there are no Old Testament audiobooks yet.

Do not play them in the gathering

An audiobook is for when you are alone. Listen while driving, while working, before you sleep.

But never let a recording take the place of reading when you gather. What happens when people read together has another name.

So the reading there must come from the mouths of the people sitting in that room. Stumbling is allowed. Clumsy pronunciation is allowed. A shaking voice is allowed. However good a recorded voice may be, it is not miqra. The table becomes a holy gathering when the saints themselves read. See How an evening runs.
