Yes,it takes a great deal of time. One of the reasons Mr.Jones wasn't interested in recording the OT.I heard Sir Laurence Olivier also read it. Not sure if he read the whole thing or just read selected passages though.

Well, a Google search brought up this AI overview:I heard Sir Laurence Olivier also read it. Not sure if he read the whole thing or just read selected passages though.

- Endorsements: Endorsed upon its release by notable figures including the Rev. Billy Graham and Dr. Norman Vincent Peale.
So clearly not the whole Bible.

The KJV that James Earl Jones recorded in the 90's takes about 17 hours so to listen to it all straight through.
I can't find anything that reports how long it took to record it all and arrive at the finished product.
He has a really good voice.
If you were to pick a voice of anyone alive today to record an audio Bible, who would you pick?
Jeremy Irons has a great voice for narration. As I recall he has narrated some nature shows.
I would think with AI now,it would be possible to have the voice of Mr.Jones read the Old Testament.
Though his voice may be licensed or some such and would require permission to use from his estate. I don't know if that's the case, but that would likely be the only hurdle were a publisher to consider it.
They'd make a fortune I think. Next year just in time for Christmas. Ideally,the publisher of his NT audio would move on it.
Three opportunities for sales.
Those who already own the New Testament audio would certainly buy the KJV OT. And,the complete set could be packaged and sold.

Catholics call it the Holy See
Some make pilgrimages to go see the Pope, they also have places like Lourdes and believe in miracle healings if they touch the relics of dead saints.
There's still divisions between Catholics and Protestants in many countries, not just Ireland/Northern Ireland. Switzerland has 'cantons' that are either catholic or protestant
England has diocese and parishes.
England has the Church of England. It has a lot of Catholic practices, but differs on things. Same with other places that are like, Greek Orthodox which is just another branch of Catholic.
But yes, peoples worship of the pope and relics weirds me out.
I don't think Greek Orthodox is another branch of Catholic. There was a huge schism in 1054 I think.
Catholics were Roman i.e spoke/read Latin and Greeks obviously were Greek. Two totally different languages.
I would say COE or church of England is a scaled down english version of Catholicsm with the King or Queen of England as it's head instead of the Pope.
Greek Orthodox has a different type of priest hierarchy and they go right back to the first church fathers.
Trying to explain it in a nutshell for those that aren't familiar with church history.

That's what I mean by branch. They broke off (branched out from the main), but they share a lot of practices from Catholicism still. Like Venerating of Saints and Mary, as well as the 7 sacraments and Apostolic succession. They have a lot of kept stuff, even if they departed on some instances for doctrine. Protestantism is just another branch of Catholic too. While it changed a lot in some ways on doctrine, there are a lot of Protestant practices that also kept from the Catholic church. Like, Sunday worship, infant baptism, sprinkling for baptism, Christmas/Easter, Lent, Ash Wednesday , Liturgical worship, Clergy robes, etc.
Greek Orthodox has icons. I wouldn't say they 'branched off' I would just say the church split. Like right down the middle. East/West.
The Church of England varies considerably. Some of its churches are thoroughly evangelical, whereas some are almost Roman Catholic, calling their vicars "Father", the Holy Communion "Mass", confessing sins to the "priest", using incense and "holy water", having 7 "sacraments" and so on.
some are 'high church' while I suppose the rest are 'low church'
England has distinct class divisions. Those that didn't conform or broke away from the COE include the Methodists and all those who escaped religious persecution to worship how they wanted in the US, which allows a measure of freedom in that regard, i.e Quakers, who set up in Philadelphia. Puritans, Baptists. Salvation Army branched off from Methodism.
Those churches are deemed 'non-conformist' in the UK
Those conformists who left England to the US just renamed the church they established there as Episcopalian.
