Revised Geneva Translation Audio Now Available in 320kbps

Best-selling faith-based voice actor updates popular 16th Century Bible for a modern audience.

Johns Creek, Georgia (August 16, 2021) – Steve Cook, #1 Amazon Best-Selling Audiobook Narrator, actor, and creator of the highly interactive Bible Study tools Witness The Bible and Memo Devo: Memorization as Devotion (both featured on Bible Gateway and elsewhere), has now released New Testament: From The Revised Geneva Translation in full 320 kbps audio quality (5 times the industry standard) exclusively at 5talentsaudio.com.

“We’re very pleased to be able to bring our listeners this faithful 21st Century update of the very first widely-distributed Bible in English, the Geneva Bible, at the highest audio quality available,” says Cook.

The RGT is one of only a handful of Bibles which remain faithful to the Received Text. Most modern Bibles (including the NIV, NASB, NLT, and ESV) are based on the Critical Text, or manuscripts which were largely unused by the Church until the mid-1800’s. Those manuscripts exclude such passages as Mark 16:9-20 and John 7:53-8:11 (The Woman Caught in Adultery) in addition to hundreds of other undocumented omissions and variations from the Received Text.

But the RGT is not merely just another NKJV or Modernized Geneva Bible. It contains many unique renderings based on careful research. Here are just a few:

“And lead us not into trial. But deliver us from the evil one.” ~ Matthew 6:13a 

“Glory to God in the High Heaven! Peace on Earth, and to man, according to His good pleasure!” ~ Luke 2:14

“This was He of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me, is in front of me. For He was before me.’” ~ John 1:15b

“Men of Athens! I perceive that in all things you are very fearful of gods.” ~ Acts 17:22b

“I have strength for all things through Christ Who empowers me.” ~ Philippians 4:13

The RGT also preserves the poetry of the Geneva while eliminating confusing 16th century words and punctuation. Plus, it preserves the Geneva’s pioneering versification (i.e. beginning every verse on a new line - which aids tremendously in memorization). This groundbreaking audio version brings all that to life with unique passion and clarity.

“As a small shop, we are grateful for the blessing of being able to offer the absolute highest possible audio fidelity on all of our products with maximum freedom of usage across multiple platforms,” says Cook, “We pray the RGT will be a truly living and active Bible for this generation.”

In addition to his seven #1 Amazon Best-Sellers, Steve Cook’s audiobook credits include Tom Sawyer: A One-Hour Classic, a one-man 32-voice dramatization of A Christmas Carol, and Ken Ham's Ready to Return.

 Five Talents Audio exists to activate more Scripture in people's lives.

  “My mother and My brothers are those who hear the word of God and do it.” ~Luke 8:21

Geneva Audio Bible Revised for This Generation

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Best-selling faith-based voice actor updates popular 16th Century Bible for a modern audience.

Johns Creek, Georgia (June 7, 2021) – Steve Cook, #1 Amazon Best-Selling Audiobook Narrator, actor, and creator of the highly interactive Bible Study tools Witness The Bible and Memo Devo: Memorization as Devotion (both featured on Bible Gateway and elsewhere), has released New Testament: From The Revised Geneva Translation, a faithful 21st Century update of the first widely-distributed Bible in English, The Geneva Bible of the 1500’s

“This audio Bible has been long overdue for quite some time,” says Cook. “With the popularity of the New King James Version, I was actually a bit surprised when I learned that the Geneva Bible had never been updated in audio format. It contains such beautiful language and employs manuscripts that have been used by the Church since its beginning.”

Most modern Bibles (including the NIV, NASB, NLT, and ESV) are based on manuscripts which were largely unused by the Church until the mid-1800’s. Those manuscripts exclude such passages as Mark 16:9-20 and John 7:53-8:11 (The Woman Caught in Adultery) in addition to hundreds of other undocumented omissions and variations from the Received Text.

But the RGT is not merely another NKJV. It contains many unique renderings based on careful research. Here are just a few:

“And lead us not into trial. But deliver us from the evil one.” ~ Matthew 6:13a 

“Glory to God in the High Heaven! Peace on Earth, and to man, according to His good pleasure!” ~ Luke 2:14

“This was He of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me, is in front of me. For He was before me.’” ~ John 1:15b

“Men of Athens! I perceive that in all things you are very fearful of gods.” ~ Acts 17:22b

“I have strength for all things through Christ Who empowers me.” ~ Philippians 4:13

The Revised Geneva Translation not only preserves the text of the Geneva Bible, but the poetry as well, while eliminating confusing 16th century words and punctuation. It also preserves the Geneva’s pioneering versification (i.e. beginning every verse on a new line - which aids tremendously in memorization).

“We pray the RGT will be a truly living and active Bible for this generation,” says Cook.
