Here is another cool thing that redeems the Internet. I have written about online Bibles. Well, it turns out you can listen to an audio version. The people at Bible Gateway have posted an audio edition of the New International Version, read by someone named Max McLean. You can find it at this link. They also have other versions.

It’s really neat. Reading the Bible is great, but there is a special value in hearing the words. And sometimes hearing is just more pleasant than reading.

I looked into audio Bibles at Christianbook.com, but the problem with their NIV is that there is no software interface that allows you to pick the verses you want to hear. You have to use fast-forward and rewind. That’s bad.

Still, it’s great to see technology used for a worthwhile purpose.

Now I’m confused. One DVD reviewer says you can’t skip to the chapters you want, and another reader says you can.
