About Crossway Publishers

Crossway Publishers appears in our catalogue as the name behind a complete English Standard Version audio Bible, and it is worth being clear about what that byline signifies. This is a publishing name rather than an author, and the work it carries is scripture rather than original composition.

The ESV itself is an essentially literal English translation, widely used in study and in worship, valued for staying close to the structure of the original languages whilst still reading cleanly aloud. That last quality matters enormously for an audio edition, and it is a large part of why this particular translation transfers to the ear as well as it does.

Crossway Publishers in audiobooks

The recording is read by Kristyn Getty and runs to some eighty-five hours, which is the honest scale of a complete Bible. The reading is unhurried and unaffected, without the pulpit theatrics that make certain scripture recordings hard to live with over a long stretch.

Nobody listens to eighty-five hours end to end in one campaign. Treat it as a resource instead: follow a reading plan, dip into a single book, or let it accompany a study you are already working through. Whichever route you take, the audiobook is available below.
