Having spent two episodes introducing you to our first two studies, we now take a look at our latest documentary and film combination we made with Dr. Jeff Johnson.

In The Church Bible Study Set, we seek to present the story of God’s faithfulness as seen in 2,000 years of New Testament history. Over the course of this 12-week study, we take you to Carthage, Rome, Switzerland, Geneva, England, and more.

This week’s episode is one of the 12 sessions from The Church. Shot in front of Canterbury Cathedral in England, Dr. Johnson teaches about the marks of a true church. For this week, we have knocked the price of The Church Bible Study Set down.
