Book Reviews of Johnny Cash: Reads The Complete New Testament
Book Review: Fun Idea for Johnny Cash to Read the New Testament!
Summary: 5 Stars
JOHNNY CASH: READS THE COMPLETE NEW TESTAMENT is a nice idea, but not very emotional or intense. Johnny mostly does a straight, monotone reading, with little inflection or emphasis for dramatic effect. He sounds like he has great reverence for the Bible, but seems a bit too unfamiliar to be comfortable adding pertinent emotions in the correct passages.
This is great for folks who aren't much "into" the Bible specifically, but are willing to listen to the novelty of having Johnny Cash read from the New King James Version.
It is easier to follow this narrative of the New King James Version with Johnny Cash, than another, similar celebrity project of JAMES EARL JONES--KJV--NEW TESTAMENT, which I also recommend for fans of either celebrity. James Earl Jones Reads the Bible-KJV-New Testament
Johnny Cash's CDs collection of the New Testament has no background music, which is a blessing in itself, as the background music on most Bible CDs is usually distracting. There are also no commentary introductions, as often appear in non-celebrity Bible reading CDs. That's too bad, because it would have been more personal if Johnny Cash had introduced each book in his own thoughts and words.
One cool aspect of this set is that the last CD is Johnny Cash reading the entire book of Revelation. Imagine that! Sound interesting and enjoyable? Buy this set! You will love it! I do!
A more entertaining Bible reading would be one of the DRAMATIZED versions, with multiple voice actors, which sound a lot like a radio play. That makes it VERY easy to follow the words being read! I would suggest the Zondervan company's NIV version for that, for most people. Go for a King James Version only if you REALLY enjoy the Olde English wording.
If you are reading these reviews about the Johnny Cash New Testament CDs, then you probably will be interested enough to enjoy this CD set, and you will surely get your money's worth out of this collection. I recommend buying this!
Summary of Johnny Cash: Reads The Complete New Testament
The New Testament of the New King James Version is read in its entirety by music legend Johnny Cash. After 20 years of encouragement from his mother to record the Bible, he approached the recording of the New Testament with "fear, respect, awe, and reverence for the subject matter." Cash said further, "I also did it with a great deal of joy, because I love the Word." Johnny Cash Reads the Complete New Testament, is 19 hours of hearing the Word of God from one of the most distinctive voices of our time. The legend of country music shows his greatness.
