Zondervan and Inspired By Media Group will release this fall The Bible Experience, a dramatized audio recording of the Bible, featuring film and theater stars. More than 80 stars, such as Angela Bassett (Esther), Blair Underwood (Jesus), Denzel Washington (Solomon), and Cuba Gooding Jr. (Judas), lend their voices to this project.
The Bible Experience is a re-enactment based on the entire text of the New Testament, and includes dramatic performances set to sound effects and an original musical underscore. It'll be recorded using Zondervan's TNIV Bible translation.
Here is a USA Today article with a link to a video clip of the recordings. http://www.usatoday.com/life/2006-03-28-bible_x.htm
