I completed year four of a five-year Bible study: Thru the Bible, Vol. 4: Matthew – Romans by J. Vernon McGee.
J. Vernon McGee was an ordained Presbyterian minister, a non-denominational pastor, and Doctor of Divinity – though I never heard him addressed as Doctor (he probably wouldn’t have it). He was also a radio Bible teacher. His Thru the Bible broadcast was a daily study of every chapter of the Bible that took five years to complete (and then, he’d just start again).
If you never heard J. Vernon, well friend, I’m sorry you missed something special. He had a fatherly, mmm…make it grandfatherly, kindly voice full of warmth, humor, and wisdom. Fortunately, audio files of the broadcasts are available for free download at the Thru the Bible website: https://www.ttb.org
I think listening to J. Vernon is the best way to experience Thru the Bible, but, I’m old school about reading, and like to – you know – read. So, I’m using the printed version to go through the Bible in five years – reading thru the Bible, along with J. Vernon’s corresponding commentary.
Year four covered The Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John; The Acts; and Romans.
I’ve been reading the Bible for over 40 years, but J. Vernon still manages to enlighten and inform. In 2023, I will read the fifth and final volume in the study.
