Ezekiel is broadcast by Thru the Bible in 25 episodes, each broadcast lasts 26 minutes. Alternatively, Dr. McGee’s Bible Study on Ezekiel (26001-26108) has a total of 108 tracks. The track ranges from a few minutes to 7:49 in this book.
The original Dr. McGee’s study audio recording takes up approximately twenty (20) minutes on average. The remaining airtime may be used to link previous or upcoming airtime sessions, TTB program updates, or sometimes mixed with topical recording during different learning cycles. It takes up few minutes, and sometime longer than expected. If you use the podcast or the app on your computer or smartphone, you can speed it up, skip or slow it down while listening. The titles of the offline MP3 tracks seem to be more precise than the airs description.
In addition, the program has been transcribed and published in a book. This information is not a verbatim reproduction of the original text, which is necessary for a broadcast program. However, it is still the best form in which we can expect to further study the material.
Reverse Outline
We have chosen only the two-level reverse outline proposed by J. Vernon McGee to illustrate the main ideas and supporting details. We believe that any review of research on how the reverse outline can be constructed in a purposeful and meaningful writing manner will be beneficial to readers. For those who want to understand the depth of the research and see how the topic is fully developed, the benefits are obvious. (Note: A reverse outline helps the readers to keep track of large amount of information and messages in hierarchical or logical order. The more detailed outline and commentary are not available for presentation at this time.)
