There’s a new audio version of the NIV Bible with only women’s voices - for a very specific reason

On International Women's Day the first ever all-female audio version of the NIV Bible is launched - to show women that their voices matter. 

The UK’s first NIV audio Bible voiced by solely by women was launched today to coincide with International Women’s Day. "Her Audio Bible UK", is the brainchild of Revd. Katy Partridge, an Anglican curate based at Holy Trinity, Combe Down, in Bath, and features the voices of women drawn from across the country. Each contributor brings her own style, accent and interpretation, resulting in a unique blend of cultures, ethnicity, and church backgrounds, representative of the worldwide Church of God. 

At a time when many women are struggling to see God as relevant, Revd. Partridge hopes that that Her Audio Bible UK can bring healing to women who have felt the pain of exclusion and can bring alive the truth that God welcomes all. Revd. Partridge said: “The way women are treated in religious spaces impacts the way they see God. If they are excluded from leading, or speaking, or worshiping, the message they receive is that their voice does not matter to God.”
