"I FIRST OWNED THE STATLER BROTHERS "OLD TESTAMENT" AND "NEW TESTAMENT" ON 33/RPM/LP. I PLAYED THE RECORDS SO MUCH I WORE THEM OUT. THEN I BOUGHT TWO CASSETTE TAPES OF THE SAME MUSIC, I WORE THEM OUT, BOUGHT TWO MORE CASSETTE AND WORE THEM OUT TOO!! NOW I FINALLY FOUND THEM ON TWO CDs. I AM SO HAPPY, I JUST RECEIVED THEM AND I FEEL LIKE OLD FRIENDS HAVE BEEN REUNITED! I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH GOOD ABOUT THIS ALBUM. IT IS FUNNY, SCRIPTURAL, AND DONE IN THE TIMELESS STYLE OF THE STATLER BROTHERS! I LOVE IT!!!"
Wrong music on CD

"I bought this CD and had the same problem someone else said they had. The music on the CD was not the music that was suppose to be on it. The replacement CD had the exact same problem. Wait until Amazon posts a notice that the problem has been resolved before buying this."
Wrong Tracks (songs) on CD and the replacement CD

"I ordered this CD in OCT 2002 and it arrived with the wrong tracks (songs) on it. .... All the packaging and inserts were correct. If you are considering this CD you may want to wait a couple weeks to let them work out the quality issue and get a new supply in stock. FYI The CD sample clips sound great I will try again to get this one in a few weeks.
Thanks!"
I remember the 33 1/3 version. . .

"My father, though raised Catholic, has never been particularly religious. When I was little, it shocked my mother when he specifically requested the Statler Brothers Old/New Testament (which was released as a two album set at the time). I can remember listening to it with him and being impressed by my father's reaction - it actually would get him to talk about his beliefs and what he was taught in school as a child during the Depression in Philadelphia. As I was reading the track listing, I can still recall snippets of most of the songs. The music is quintessential Statler Brothers - the songs are masterful representations of the old stories of the Bible. Regardless of what you believe, or how strongly you may hold those beliefs, I highly recommend this CD, along with its New Testament counterpart. Enjoy and make your own memories!"
Statler Brothers Holy Bible

"I'm a big fan of the Statler's. They have a great sound. This Holy Bible production really hits at the heart of gospel music, each song about a certain book in the Bible, telling the story of Christ and his return. Can only highly recommend this tape/cd--if you can find it. It's hard to find, but buy it when you do."
