Narrators

King James Version

Alexander Scourby (1913-1985), who narrated the King James Version for the GoBible®, is best known for his precise, mellifluous voice he leant to the narration of some of the most beloved literary works.  Originally from Brooklyn, New York, he trained in Shakespearean roles in the 1930s and perfected his voice in radio dramas in the 1940s. He quickly became a well-known sound on Broadway, in motion pictures, and on television.

Scourby recorded talking books starting in 1937 and is particularly remembered for his landmark recording of the entire King James Version of the Bible. He was also the narrator of many television documentaries, notably the series of specials on CBS entitled “The Body Human,” as well as many of the National Geographic specials. His last narrating assignment was the documentary “Toscanini: The Maestro,” in 1985. Although Scourby made voice recordings of more than 500 different books, he considered the Bible to be his most important.

New International Version

Charles Taylor has been a Christian radio broadcaster in Korea, a commercial vocal talent, and still uses his talents to aid the visually impaired. His narration of the New International Version of the Bible remains the hallmark of his recordings.

Word Of Promise, NKJV

Commissioned in 1975 by Thomas Nelson Publishers, 130 respected Bible scholars, church leaders, and lay Christians worked for seven years to create a completely new, modern translation of Scripture, yet one that would retain the purity and stylistic beauty of the original King James. With unyielding faithfulness to the original Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic texts, the translation applies the most recent research in archaeology, linguistics, and textual studies.
