FOUNDING WORD: The Gospels - Parts 1, 2, and 3

Cross posted from Joshua P. Allem's.

The following audio's from Josh's JPA Live Radio Program is perhaps one of the best, if not the best discussions of the first 4 Gospels in the New Testament, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John I've had the good fortune to listen to.
Mr. Allem has provided us a unique look into God's Word, articulated in terms Christians can understand and relate to. His precise rendition is clearly a gift to us all.

Thank you Josh.

Part I:

We're gonna tackle the first four books of the New Testament. First we'll go over a little background, introduction and overview of all four books. Then will cover the heavy portion of John's introduction where God Himself becomes a man. Then for fun, we'll go over the genealogy of Jesus Christ and it's many sevens.
