Immerse yourself in your faith with the EWTN app, a comprehensive platform offering a wealth of Catholic content right at your fingertips. This app brings EWTN's TV and radio broadcasts to your mobile device, allowing you to access live streams and an extensive library of on-demand programs.
The EWTN app stands out by providing access to the Truth & Life Audio Bible, a celebrity-voiced dramatization of the RSV-CE New Testament. This audio production features over 70 actors, including renowned names such as Neal McDonough, Stacy Keach, Kristen Bell, and Sean Astin. With movie-quality sound effects and an original music score, this 22-hour audio experience offers a unique and engaging way to connect with the scriptures. Endorsed by the Vatican and featuring a foreword by Pope Benedict XVI, this audio Bible is a testament to its quality and faithfulness.
In addition to the audio Bible, the app includes the complete text of the RSV-CE synchronized with the audio, allowing you to follow along visually as you listen. You can easily navigate to any verse and instantly hear it, creating custom playlists for focused study, and utilizing features like the sleep timer for nighttime listening. Whether you want to listen to the New Testament in 40 days or in chronological order, the app provides the tools to customize your experience. The app remembers where you left off, ensuring you can easily pick up where you stopped.
The development of the Truth & Life Audio Bible involved a massive collaborative effort, with 70 actors, 20 audio engineers, 10 studios across 3 continents, and over 100 media development experts contributing more than 10,000 production hours. This dedication to quality is evident in every aspect of the audio Bible, making it a truly exceptional resource for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of the scriptures.
Cardinal Raymond L. Burke, Perfect of the Apostolic Signature of the Holy See, endorses the audio New Testament, emphasizing its faithfulness to the text and its ability to assist listeners in understanding the meaning of the scriptures. Laura Ingraham, Radio Talk Show Host and New York Times Bestselling Author, describes the audio Bible as the way Scripture is supposed to sound, praising the revealing and passionate performances of the actors and the immersive sound effects. Archbishop Charles Chaput of Philadelphia recommends the presentation of the Word of God to anyone who desires to become true disciples of Jesus.
