This podcast collection features each of those readings and a live recording of the talk Melvyn Bragg gave looking at the radical impact of The King James Bible over the last 400 years.

Wonderful and illuminating
Many thanks to the National Theatre for this great podcast. The King James Bible is one of the immortal works everyone should know, regardless of religious persuasion. The readers bring this marvelous book alive and it sounds like pure poetry in certain passages. Highly recommended.
