ESV Audio Bible, Read by Ray Ortlund

By: Crossway Books

Narrated by: Ray Ortlund

The Bible is made up of 66 books that tell the magnificent story of God's redemptive work through Christ. In this audio recording of the full Bible, that story comes alive in a fresh way through the voice of author and pastor Ray Ortlund.

From Genesis to Revelation, this word-for-word reading of the ESV Bible text is a great way to encounter God's Word and the story of salvation on any phone, tablet, or computer.

A great blessing!

I’ve been truly blessed by this lovely reading of the Bible by Ray. I can now listen to the Bible at any time and it’s not in a robot like voice that I used to listen to on a different app.

Narrator deeply connected with the content

Great narration…what a difference it make when one can perceive the readers deep connection to the content.

Wonderful reading voice!

Love listening to this! I’m very particular about narrating voices & this one is so easy to listen to…which is wonderful since it’s 85 hours long! Lol

Best Bible reader!

Most readers of the scriptures try to sound grand and imposing. Mr Outland just reads in a natural voice with meaningful inflections. I’ve listened to at least 8 different audio bibles and his narration is by far the best.

Books and Chapters show up fine

I started listening to this in January 2025. They must have solved the issue with the Books and Chapters not being labeled. It is relatively easy to find a specific Book and Chapter (such as John 3) and they are shown as such when listening. I also like how Ray Ortland reads. I think he has a really good balance between too dramatic and monotone.
