'Experience' the Bible
Black actors get on the same page for a deeply felt reading
Blair Underwood stands in a Los Angeles recording studio, his arms outstretched, tears on his cheeks, as he groans Jesus' suffering words, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit." Denzel Washington and his wife, Pauletta, coo the love poetry of Solomon's Song of Songs. Urban gospel artist Kirk Franklin gives voice to Paul the apostle. They're among more than 80 black celebrities reading, singing and composing music for The Bible Experience, a new 70-hour Genesis-through-Revelation dramatic audio performance of the Scriptures. The New Testament in CD and MP3 formats will be in retail outlets -- secular and Christian, storefront and online -- by September. The Old Testament follows in 2007. Also coming next year: additional formats, from ringtones to iPods to animation, so you could put Robert Guillaume intoning the mighty angel of Revelation on your home answering machine or, perhaps, a line from the Lord in Psalm 91: "They will call on me, and I will answer them." It's a serious Bible, but there's wit in the casting: Cuba Gooding Jr. is the voice of Judas, lending new meaning to his Oscar-winning Jerry Maguire catchphrase "Show me the money!"
