Description and sources

The Quiet Reading is the New Testament read straight through, in order, one passage at a time — no commentary, no music, no captions burned over the picture. Just the text, a voice, and somewhere real to rest your eyes while you listen.

This is episode 11 of 47, and it opens Luke. Episode 10 closed Mark at the empty tomb; this one starts again from the beginning, with a preface that says why the account was written and who it was written for.
