Would you believe it took nearly 500 years to translate the ESV (English Standard Version) Bible? That's because the ESV builds on the great translations of the past - including William Tyndale's New Testament of 1526 and the King James Version (KJV) of 1611. But the ESV Bible also builds on the best Christian scholarship of the last 100 years.

Story
In this new translation of the Gospel of Thomas, Leloup shows that the Jesus recorded by the "infinitely skeptical and infinitely believing" Thomas has much in common with gnostics of non-dualistic schools. Like them, Jesus preaches the coming of a new man, the genesis of the man of knowledge. In this gospel, Jesus describes a journey from limited to unlimited consciousness. The Jesus of Thomas invites us to drink deeply from the well of knowledge within, not so that we may become good Christians but so we may attain the self-knowledge that will make each of us, too, a Christ.

Story
On May 8, 1373, 30-year-old Julian of Norwich, sick and near death, had a series of visions of Christ. In these 16 visions she learnt about God's loving nature. God in Julian's visions was not angry and wrathful. Instead, the three properties of God were presented as life, love and light, and all of His creation was good, including his servant, man. In Julian's version, Man is not to blame for his sin; instead it is something that he must experience and overcome in his spiritual journey with God.

Story
Upanishads are mankind's oldest works of philosophy, predating the earliest Greek philosophy. They are the concluding part of the Vedas, the ancient Indian sacred literature, and mark the culmination of a tradition of speculative thought first expressed in the Rig-Veda more than 4,000 years ago. Remarkable for their meditative depth, spirit of doubt and intellectual honesty, the Upanishads are concerned with the knowledge of the Brahman, the Ultimate Reality, and man's relationship with it.

Publisher's Summary
The 150 Psalms contain some of the most inspiring lines in the Old Testament: Psalm 23 "The Lord is My Shepherd" and Psalm 121 "I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills". Yet few know them as a set, and this recording, in Alex Jennings' clear performance, allows us to consider them as a whole. They are not all uplifting and comfortable. Many involve darker sentiments of revenge or punishment; many appear to be by David or about David; others are To the chief Musician upon Gittith. Their variety is part of their strength and their power, especially in the magisterial language of the King James Bible used here. They are presented with English choral music from the 16th and 17th centuries.

The absolute best version of Psalms!
Where does The Psalms rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This ranks #1 among my favorites!
What other book might you compare The Psalms to and why?
No other book really compares to this one. It is finely performed with calming and lovely selections of music. It is the KJB, which is most beautiful.
Which character – as performed by Alex Jennings – was your favorite?
Mr. Jennings does a superb job, I love his rendering.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No. This is a book I like to listen to in bed at night as I drift off to sleep.
Any additional comments?
I highly recommend this book with a wonderful narrator. It could not be better!

I have listened to 10 or more versions of the Psalms. This and Theodore Bikel are two of the very best. Their voices are exceptionally good, not overdone, not dramatized in silly ways, and just solidly easy to listen to.

My favorite narration of the Psalms
I really like the musical interludes and find the narration expressive and thoughtful.
I do wish the recording was split into more chapters so that it is easier to find specific Psalms.

Great!!!
I enjoyed listening to the British guy who narrated this. Really made the words come alive! I was able to picture and focus on the psalms like I never have before. Plus, every few psalms part of a beautiful choir hymn plays! I listened to this off and on all day today, and probably will listen to the whole thing again tomorrow! I loved having it on in the background. One thing I gleaned today was that David continually talks about his enemies, so maybe it is a good idea to be aware of who my enemies really and to pray, as David did, for protection and help. Also, praise was another theme which repeats throughout the psalms. I look forward to learning more as I keep listening!

Excellent reading, very hard to use on Audible
Alex Jennings reads very well and the translation is the Authorised Version (King James Version) which has high literary and historic value. The only problem is that Audible does not split the 150 Psalms which makes them impossible to navigate on Audible. On CD, each Psalm has its own track number, so you can go to the Psalm you want to hear. But on Audible, the Psalms are lumped together, all 150 psalms being divided into just 4 chapters - so you cannot jump to any particular psalm. This means you can only listen to them from start to finish. That is not how most people listen to the psalms. This is just laziness as the CD does split into each psalm
