This is my favorite study. I've done it 3 or 4 times atleast. Instead of watching whatever popular show thats on now. I pop this in instead, a much better way to spend the time The Lord has given me. Absolutely Excellent content. This dvd study gives you the basic rundown of Christianity. Highly recommended for all new beleivers who are eager to learn. This is a lecture series so if you want something light and fluffy to make you feel good, dont get it. This series makes you think. I have seen many leave this study because it was to much like work. But it is worth the effort.

I am an evangelical Christian. I can tell you with complete peace that this series is at best, a wholesale indoctrination into poorly-researched history and science. At its worst, it is outright deceitful.
Another reviewer has made some very good points about the historical fallacies (about specific founding fathers being Christian, as opposed to being Deists), so I'll restrict this review to Lesson 5, Science.
I find it fascinating that people can walk out of the Truth Project and somehow think that it supports a literal or "more correct", interpretation of the Bible.
Dr. Michael Behe is a senior researcher at the Discovery Institute, the evolution-denying organization that was portrayed in the movie "Expelled:No Intelligence Allowed". The Truth Project's science lesson spends some time talking about Dr. Behe's idea of irreducible complexity, which is to say that there are structures in living things which could not have come about by evolution. For example, the bacterial flagellum. What they don't bother to tell you is that Dr. Behe FULLY ACCEPTS the common descent of man and all other life on this planet. Microbes to man, or "goo to you", as some would disdainfully say. Read his books! Look it up for yourself. As early as p.5 of his "Darwin's Black Box" (1997), he CONCEDES common descent. What he disputes is the mechanism of natural selection. In his more recent book, "The Edge of Evolution" (2007), he goes to great lengths to talk about the strength of the evidence for common descent, and then spends the remainder of the book nitpicking natural selection.
Using Behe's theory (or anti-theory) to somehow support a literal Biblical understanding of the world is disingenuous, at best. Why don't they mention this? I am truly amazed when people come out of the Truth Project and say, "you've got to see this refutation of evolution!" and somehow think that it supports any of the claims that "creation science" has been telling us about a literal reading of Genesis. What on earth is this chapter doing in a purportedly evangelical Christian documentary? How does this possibly provide apologetic material for Bible-based teaching?
IT DOESN'T.
The truth is, Behe is completely off-whack in his statistical analysis of natural selection, and yet The Truth Project sees fit to parrot this very specific part of his argument against evolution as some grand revelation of the truth about all of evolutionary theory.
Evolution is real. Stop using these half-baked theories in Christian apologetics. In the end, it's only hurting our Christian witness.

This project is the most profound, enlightening experience I can recommend. The group format utilizes DVDs and a workbook for individual reference. After each DVD, a class breaks up into small groups headed by a Truth Project prepared leader. A thought-provoking discussion ensues about the focus of the day's lesson.
Dr. Del Tackett is the professor who teaches a Christian Worldview centered around God, truth, man, and social order. Every session is a journey that includes opinions from professional and lay people around the world. The philosophical questions are deep and intriguing.
The subjects of the 12 chapters and their queries are: 1. Veritology: What is Truth? 2. Philosophy & Ethics: Says Who? 3. Anthropology: Who is Man? 4. Theology: Who is God? 5. Science: What is True? 6. History: Whose Story? 7.Sociology: The Divine Imprint 8. Unio Mystica: Am I Alone? 9. The State: Whose Law? 10. The American Experiment: Stepping Stones 11. Labor: Created to Create 12. Community & Involvement: God Cares, Do I?
The Study Guide refers to scripture used in each chapter and taken from the Holy Bible, NIV. I am a better man, a better citizen, a better family man, and a better Christian at the completion of this project. I apply the lessons learned to crises that befall me and I recognize, in others, the need for comfort found only in The Truth.
