Well, Hello again! Just saw this and wanted to tell you that ever since I facilitated your class on "How We Got the Bible", I've been setting people straight (sweetly of course) when they erroneously credit the Council of Nicaea with canonizing the Bible. Be assured that as you lead the charge to restore facts about the true purpose of the the Council and the canonization of the Bible that you are not alone. Others are in the battle with you!! And by the way, your books are very well written and easily understood. I still thank God for the opportunity to take 2 courses of them. However, I must admit that I was doubly pleased that Christianity Today would admit this mistake. Not my favorite magazine to say the least.
I had the privilege and joy of facilitating 2 of Dr. Jones' DVD classes -- Christian History Made Easy and How We Got the Bible. There is no question that his facts are accurate and his ability to take so much information and create a very readable, entertaining, and concise book shows not only his incredible ability to teach but also his vast intellectual understanding of his subjects (he seems like down to earth, approachable "regular guy" until you check his notations and works used! He's so well educated). I learned so much and so did my classes. I hope others will "pick up and read" his books. They are masterpieces for the all of us to read, enjoy and learn from and have our misinformation "corrected."

Thanks so much for your encouraging words!

Just telling the Truth, Dr. Jones. Just telling the truth.
