[Faith-talk] RSV Audio Bible? - WAS: Re: Bible Translations

Tue Nov 29 19:58:56 UTC 2011

Is the complete  Revised Standard Version available in audio from 
anywhere? I am aware of the recent "Truth and Life" Dramatized New 
Testament of the RSV as well as the audio RSV NT Catholic Edition but 
I would like to have the entire Old and New Testaments in audio. 
Though a little dated, the RSV is still one of the best and most 
widely accepted translations.

thanks much.
