McGee, J. Vernon. Thru the Bible. TWR [Trans World Radio]. Audio, in multiple languages. Click here for the website and choose <Languages> from the menu in the upper right corner.
Abstract: Thru the Bible is a five-year program designed to cover the entire Bible. It was developed by J. Vernon McGee, well-known pastor, Bible teacher, and radio personality. The English version is McGee himself, so the language and illustrations are somewhat dated, including the use of the KJV. The other languages, however, would have more up-to-date language and commentary.
