[Faith-Talk] Food for Thought: Is There Still a Need for SpecializedBibles

[sarah at sarahblakelarose.com]

Hi Tina.
I have for some time asked whether we need specialized audio distributors.
The commentary that I receive in general is that audio materials are
expensive. I am not sure this is a relevant argument since poor sighted
people also must pay for books and by the argument of impoverishment there
is a world of people who has much less access to books than we have had for
well over a hundred years.
Having said this, I think there are older people who lose their sight and
find it challenging to learn the skills needed to access books on IOS
devices. Do they have the ability to use other types of audio Bibles,
specialized or not? With the decline in distribution of CDs, might it be
that our audio publishers might distribute these formats?

Most of us, myself included, can and do use smart phone apps to access the
Bible. Knowing this, I wonder if there is still the need for
blindness-specific organizations that distribute the Bible.

 

You may know that last year, Audio Bibles for the Blind closed at the end of
June. They were the most well-known Bible distributors. So is there still a
place for organizations like this? Thanks.
