Audiobook version of the Bible with historical context?

Hi there,

I was curious if there exists a version of the Old and/or New Testament that provides historical context for the language and events. I'm thinking something like the New Oxford Annotated Bible. However, the kicker is I want to listen to it as an audiobook. I'm not 100% sure what that experience would be like given that I believe most of the annotation occurs as footnotes, but I'm sure it could be done.

I've been meaning to read the good book but never got around to it. I think it's a lot more likely to happen if it's an audiobook as that's how I consume most books at the moment.

Does anyone know of something like that?

    I don't know of anything that exactly matches what you're looking for. The closest thing I can think of is a series called Thru The Bible by Dr. J. Vernon McGee. He goes through the complete Bible, verse by verse and he does a pretty good job providing linguistic interpretations and historical context. They are a non-profit and the complete series can be downloaded for free.
