Segond 21 French Audio Bible – 6 MP3 CDs, 71 hr 30 min

Rediscover the Bible through listening

Return to a story, revisit a psalm or pause with a Gospel passage: the Segond 21 Audio Bible offers a way to engage with Scripture through the spoken word. With six MP3 CDs and 71 hours and 30 minutes of reading in French, it supports listening through the Bible or returning to a chosen book.

Everyday French as a way into the text

The Segond 21 translation was developed to combine faithfulness to the Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek texts with current French vocabulary. Jean-Micael Saltzmann’s reading gives voice to the narratives, wisdom books and New Testament writings. Listen alongside a printed Bible or choose audio whenever you prefer to hear the text.

A listening rhythm of your own

Set aside a few minutes for a passage, return to a familiar book or establish a regular listening habit. The set can accompany someone discovering the Bible as well as someone who wants to keep it close in everyday life. As a gift, it is a personal gesture to support faith and reflection.

Six CDs containing MP3 files

The discs contain MP3 files and require a player or computer that supports this format. To listen on a phone or another compatible device, the files must first be transferred to it. Check your equipment’s MP3 compatibility before choosing how to listen.
