If you would like to listen to someone reading parts of the Old Testament to you rather than doing it yourself, then these tapes are for you. Various well-known British actors read from the Bible in its "New International Version", a now widely used and quite accurate translation into contemporary English of both the Old and New Testaments completed some twenty years ago. However, there are some areas of improvement. The most serious flaw is that it is not complete: the second part of the Book of Daniel, for instance, is ignored. Also, there are always some verses or even words missing in a chapter that is included. Finally, hearing the chapter numbers instead of the headings at the beginning of each chapter would make locating a passage easier. Apart from those OT tapes, there also exists a corresponding set of tapes to the NT, with the important difference that it offeres the complete New Testament, with no parts at all left out, and chapter numbers. It is to be hoped that in the future, both the OT and the NT set would be published on CD.
