Female-voiced Bible first

Anna Putt, a trustee of Keswick Ministries, is a co-producer at the Open Word team

The first female-voiced audio NIV Bible was launched on International Women’s Day 2023, with the release of the four Gospels and Revelation. The entire New Testament has been recorded and the rest of the NT will be released on a monthly basis.

Between 700-800 audio Bible have been recorded across the world and only 8 have so far been recorded in women's voices. Her Audio Bible UK will be the first New International Version translation - they have chosen the Anglicised 2011 NIV version because of how it flows when read aloud.

The project is run by a small group of volunteers in the UK. There are a range of readers, including Revd Sonia Hicks, Rupa Jayaraj (Doctor) and Sarah McCullough (teacher).
