Christianity is a taught religion. Consequently, spreading the gospel means that one has to root out religious misconceptions and replace them with the teachings of the gospel of Christ. Kyle Pope has prepared a workbook that addresses many of the issues relating to rooting out denominational concepts about salvation, worship, security of the saint, woman's role in the church, the organization and work of the church, and divorce and remarriage, basing his teachings upon accepting the authority of Scripture as one's guide in religion.

The Bible is the most important book in history. It has influenced billions of people throughout the ages. Laws have been fashioned upon its teachings, nations have been established upon its principles, and human souls have rested upon its promises. Yet, how is it that this book came to us? How was it transmitted from the mind of God to the hands of man? What process led to the formation of this wonderful book that we have before us? In this study, we look at what is known about this process. We will look at both the Old and the New Testaments to consider what is understood about the formation of Scripture. We will look at the dramatic history of the Bible coming into English. Then,we will end our study with a consideration of how modern discoveries of biblical manuscripts have affected today's translations. Lord willing, our study will bolster faith and help to overcome doubts. It is my prayer that this study will strengthen the reader against the assaults of the enemy and grant to him a greater confidence in the Bible as the complete, inerrant, and wholly inspired word of God.

The views which many in the religious world hold regarding the work of the Holy Spirit color all aspects of their understanding of Biblical topics. These denominational concepts far too often find their way into the church in the language we use, and unscriptural notions we gradually adopt. This study is an attempt to carefully "weed out" concepts which are rooted in the theories and theologies of men in order to isolate the pure revelation of God on this most important question. The reader should test all things presented in the pages which follow by the infallible standard of God's word, accepting only what is found to be true to the Holy Spirit revealed oracles of God.
