Ray Fischer, born-again Jew and Bible scholar, takes you on a journey back to the days of the Nazarene Jewish movement, known as The Way. You will learn: Why restoring the original theology, doctrine, worship, practices, and structure of the early church will also restore the body of Christ to its former glory. What new archeological discoveries in Israel and ancient manuscripts stored in the Smithsonian are telling us about the roots of the faith and the Bible-and why scholars don't want you to know about it. How you can start or participate in a vital home church that follows the model set forth by the early Christians, who were taught by Jesus himself.
