What if the traditions you inherited contradict the Bible you claim to follow? Tradition vs. Truth opens the True Faith Examined series with sola Scriptura — Scripture alone as final authority — and walks Catholic readers (and those who love them) through Mary, the Mass, purgatory, papal authority, and salvation by grace through faith alone. Firm on truth; warm toward people.
Summary
Catholic friends and family are not enemies to defeat but neighbors to reach with the true gospel. Volume 1 establishes the biblical standard of authority, then compares Rome's magisterium, tradition, and sacramental system to what the New Testament actually teaches about Christ's finished work.
Chapters move from foundations (Scripture, justification, the one Mediator) through specific doctrines Catholics are taught from childhood — papal infallibility, Marian dogmas, indulgences, and the priesthood. Primary sources from Catholic catechisms sit beside chapter-and-verse KJV exposition so readers can verify every claim.
Written for former Catholics, evangelical witnesses to Catholic loved ones, and Protestants who want more than slogans when discussing the Reformation issues that still matter.
Editorial Review
Editorial review (Twice Born Ministry Publishing): Catholic apologetics literature often swings between abrasive debate and vague ecumenism. This volume threads the needle: it names doctrinal divergence clearly while insisting that love and patience are non-negotiable. The sola Scriptura opening is the right anchor for the whole series.
