Department of religious ignorance

The LA Times has a story today about an entrepreneur's latest venture -- producing a dramatic reading of the Bible that will fill 70 CDs. Audio recordings of the Good Book have been done before, but pop music reporter Geoff Boucher adds a bit of celebrity intrigue with a clever lede:

Finding the perfect Jesus was no problem for Carl Amari — he just called up Jim Caviezel, who starred in "The Passion of the Christ" — but making a deal with just the right devil has turned out to be harder than hell.

"And you need a good Satan," Amari said with a bit of exasperation, "because Satan has some of the best lines in the Bible."

The best part of the online article, though, is this box that succeeds the third paragraph:

FOR THE RECORD: A previous version of this story incorrectly identified the Bible edition being used in a new audio-book project as the St. James version. The Bible being used is the King James version.
