The interactive home video release Holy Bible - New Living Translation: Old Testament enables viewers to scroll through the thirty nine books of the Old Testament, in the New Living Translation, on their television screens. Passages are displayed, visually, on the screen, accompanied by occasional illustrations. The program includes over fifty-three hours of optional narration from Emmy award winner Stephen Johnston and a cast of many additional Tony, Emmy, and Golden Globe-winning vocalists, who read the verses aloud, dramatically, in Dolby Digital Stereo. Interactive, multilayered menus provide easy access to the various Old Testament books, chapters, and verses, and the program enables the viewer to choose between widescreen and full-frame display. The viewer may also select the options of continuous vocal narration of the Old Testament, narration of a specific book, and/or narration of a designated chapter.
