About the World English Bible: The WEB is a public-domain modern-English update of the American Standard Version (1901), completed by volunteers with the ebible.org project. Because both the text and The Historic Faith's own narration are free of copyright restrictions, every chapter here pairs complete scripture text with audio. Its Old Testament companion on this site is the Greek Septuagint with Brenton's English — the Scriptures the apostles quoted. Pair any chapter with the Hebrew & Greek interlinear Bible or look up any word in Strong's Concordance — both free, built into every chapter page.
WEB Audio Bible — Frequently Asked Questions
Is the World English Bible free?

Completely — the WEB text is public domain and The Historic Faith recorded its own narration, so every chapter streams free with full text, no signup, no restrictions.

What is the World English Bible based on?

The WEB updates the American Standard Version (1901) into modern English; the ebible.org volunteer project completed it against the Biblia Hebraica and the Majority Text.

Why is the WEB paired with the Septuagint here?

The Historic Faith pairs its WEB New Testament narration with the Greek Septuagint (Brenton translation) Old Testament — the Old Testament the early church read and the New Testament writers most often quoted — narrated by the same voice.

About this audio Bible: The New Testament text is the public-domain World English Bible; the narration was recorded by The Historic Faith (we did not alter or retranslate the text). The Old Testament pairs it with the Greek Septuagint alongside Sir Lancelot Brenton's public-domain English translation (1851) — the Old Testament the early church used — narrated by the same voice.
