| 0:00.0 | Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble and I'm your host for the Bible recap. |
| 0:13.1 | If you're doing our New Testament plan, you finished your fifth book today and if you're |
| 0:16.5 | doing the whole Bible, you finished your 44th book. |
| 0:19.4 | This book has a lot going on, so we'll only have time to hit the major points. |
| 0:23.2 | Let's get into it. |

| 1:20.3 | of knowing him. |
| 1:22.0 | After the centuries, this book has caused quite a stir because it seems to be advocating |
