MISCELLANY

Bible Jukebox

The Bible is music to my ears. I love to listen to the words. Reading is good, but sometimes when I listen, my ears hear better than my eyes. And when I add music that I love to words that I love, it is a wonderful combination.

Here are some of my favorite Bible chapters, spoken by Dan Wagner, combined with some of my favorite musical pieces. A few of the chapters are presented twice with both an original and an alternate musical accompaniment.

Rom 10:17 : So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
