Summary
In this previously recorded radio interview from The Ride Home with John and Kathy on WORDFM in Pittsburgh, J. Warner discusses the ancient non-canonical documents describing Jesus.

For more information on WORDFM or The Ride Home with John and Kathy, please visit their website.

| 1:04.9 | analytical skills into his study of the Bible. |
