The media have long been able to twist the truth, including history, but a new version of the Bible goes even further, making God, Jesus, and all the characters of the Bible black. ItÂ’s a new audio Bible released by Zondervan, one of the worldÂ’s largest publishers of religious books.

“Inspired By … The Bible Experience: New Testament” features a large, all-black cast including some of Hollywood’s biggest names. The 21-hour production features the voices of more than 250 black singers, clergy and actors, including Denzel Washington, Cuba Gooding Jr., Angela Bassett and Alfre Woodard. Blair Underwood portrays Jesus, and Samuel L. Jackson, who played a Scripture-spouting hit man in “Pulp Fiction,” is the voice of God.

This new audio Bible, which turns the Jewish Jesus black, has been at or near the No. 1 spot among the best-selling books listed on Wal-MartÂ’s Web site, selling 70,000 copies since September. The producers decided early on to cast only black actors and other personalities, hoping to attract a black audience, as well as fans of some of the worldÂ’s biggest box-office draws.

“I was particularly interested in developing a product that might resonate with the African-American community,” said producer Kyle Bowser. The producers also said that with this new audio Bible they wanted to shatter “the Hollywood mold of white Bible productions.”
