Minnesota Bible Lecture Series

Making the scholarly study of the Bible accessible to everyone.


Orthodox Audio Bible Commentary

The first series of its kind, this exceptional audio commentary covers the entire Bible, verse by verse. All titles are available for immediate download in MP3 format, for use with your iPod, CD Burner, Personal Computer, or other digital media player.

The importance of this project for our church and, generally speaking, for contemporary biblical scholarship, cannot be overstated. Since each verse is read aloud and carefully explained in context of the entire canon, you can actually hear the story of the Bible unfold in its entirety, while learning relevant historical, linguistic and literary facts. This is especially important, since the Bible was meant to be heard, not read. Listening to this commentary is much better than simply hearing an English translation of Scripture, since the speaker frequently highlights poetic and literary connections from the original languages--connections that are almost always lost in translation.

Anyone interested in learning more about their faith should begin by journeying through the Bible with this commentary, which brings the finest and most ancient tradition of Orthodox biblical preaching to modern audiences.
