Bible on Audio

On this Easter weekend we wanted to update our Bible on Audio category and provide you with the ultimate Bible on Audio resource. We’ve gone through and added many new editions in our attempt to have the most comprehensive audio bible resource on the web. We now feature over 150 audio bibles on audio download, CD, MP3-CD, podcast, and even free download!

Listening to the Bible is a rewarding way to pass the time and feed your soul while driving, cleaning house, or taking a walk. Browse the Bibles on LearnOutLoud.com, listen to the samples we provide, and find a version of the Bible that you can listen to and finish within the next year. You probably never thought you’d be able to get through the whole Bible in your lifetime, but with audio books you’d be surprised how much progress you can make on the greatest epic of all time.
