About this listen

The Zondervan Biblical and Theological Lectures series provides a unique audio learning experience.

Bird, these lectures serve as your passageway from the 21st century to the era of Jesus and the first Christians.

This was the perfect nite cap for me, I love going to bed, lying in darkness listening to words about God. Greater things, beautiful things, powerful truths. Both authors of this work were captivating and easy to follow. Thank you very much for this work.
