Confidence in a ministry hinges on respect for the minister. Few people understood this truth better than the apostle Paul. In the latter half of his second letter to the Corinthian Christians, he spels out the crucial importance of ministering in a way that fosters trust. And by using his own life as an example, he gives us more than an unforgettable autobiography - he gives us a model worth emulating.

The Da Vinci Code spins an absorbing tale of lost scriptures, suppressed versions of Christianity, and conspiracies that cover up the 'historical Jesus.' But that's just fiction, right? The truth is, some skeptical historians today take The Da Vinci Code even further with controversial theories about early Christianity, the Bible, and Jesus - and they even teach them as fact!

What did early Christians really believe about Jesus? Did the Catholic Church actually rewrite history ... and the Bible? Who are the early church fathers and why are they important? The Way of Truth in a World of Faction : Beyond the Da Vinci Code Workbook refocuses the center of our beliefs on mainstream orthodoxy versus marginal heresies ... reinforces the source of inspired Scripture versus ancient 'Bible wannabes' ... and reemphasizes the Savior, Jesus Christ, versus competing views of the 'historical Jesus.
