Summary: Quality Control - None
Review: Alexander Scourby is great, but I had to send the item back several times due to extremely poor audio quality. Then when I finally got the audio quality right, I found that disk 6 and 9 of the NT were exactly the same. The labels we correct, but the text from 6 was on cd 9. I finally gave up and gave the set to a friend who was happy to have it no matter what.

Summary: Wonderful to hear God's Word
Review: Hello,
I have listened to other KJV Audio Bibles, but Alexander Scourby surpasses them all. Not only does he just read the Bible, but also he puts emphasis on certain words and phrases, and hence, the reading is not monotones. If you are looking for an Audio Bible (KJV), I strongly suggest that you get this one (Tape or CD).

Summary: super-duper helper to faith!
Review: I have been listening (mostly at night, as I fall asleep) to the Bible read by Alexander Scourby for a while now. This is a super-helper for anyone who wants to know the Bible but does not like to read or is too tired or busy. There is also a difference between READING the Bible and hearing the Bible. You pick up nuances and details that you might miss when you're reading, and some of these are very significant! This is a great gift for your Christian Friends. (Rom 10:17 KJV) So then faith cometh by HEARING, and hearing by the word of God.

Summary: *You won't want to put your Bible down! (or stop listening)*
Review: If you're like me & can read a paragraph & then your mind starts to wander or you forgot what you just read, then listening to the Bible (especially while reading along) is something you should try! Alexandar Scourby's narration is wonderful & will keep your attention. I like to read along while listening, and I find that I noticed things in the Bible that hadn't popped out before. You can listen to the entire Bible for FREE here http://www.audio-bible.com/bible/bible.html and see if you like his voice. I highly recommend this reading!

Summary: Buy the non-dramatized version instead!
Review: Listening to the Bible in Alexander Scourby's wonderful voice is pure pleasure. Unfortunately, for the "dramatized" version, they gave all quotations--entire chapters in some places--to actors of mediocre skills. They sound like they didn't read the script ahead of time. Voice inflection is all wrong. It's an effort to make sense of what one hears. My advice: buy the Alexander Scourby version that doesn't say "dramatized" instead.

Summary: What a Bunch of Poppycock
Review: The mythology of Christianity, which, in short, is a conglomeration of pieces of many ancient Pagan religions, is just that: a MYTHOLOGY.
Alexander Scourby treats this material as if it were fact, which would make this rendition laughable, if not so disgusting (perhaps if it were a short story, it would in fact be hilarious...I just don't know).

Summary: Scourby Dramatized - A Pleasant Listening Experience
Review: The Scourby Dramatized audio CDs are more expensive than some of their competition, and may have a the odd technical glitches, but overall are worth the purchase price. This is especially the case if you can find a sale or get a good used set. Although the music might make the words slightly harder to hear in a few areas, Scourby's voice is pleasant to listen to and seems to draw you in more than the other readers I've heard. If you are listening for more than a few minutes, the music and dramatization help hold your attention. The other dramatized audio bible I've heard is the Zondervan one. It has many of the same strenghts as the Scourby versio, but to me the reader's voice does not seem to have the same magnetic quality that is present with Scourby.
