Poirot actor David Suchet reads some of the most beautiful books of the Bible - the poetry books of the Old Testament from Job to Song of Songs.

Ever since he became a Christian at the age of forty, it has been Poirot actor David Suchet's dream to make an audio recording of the whole Bible. Starting with the writings of the Apostle Paul to accompany his BBC1 documentary, 'In the Footsteps of St Paul', Suchet now turns his attention to the poetical books of the Old Testament, Job to Song of Songs. This portion of the Bible includes the famous Psalms of David - some of the most deeply emotional and beautiful passages in biblical literature.

Scripture is taken from the Holy Bible, New International Version, 2011 translation.
