The Jesus Creed: Loving God, Loving Others, 15th Anniversary Edition
Overview
This 15th anniversary of the bestselling classic The Jesus Creed invites us to rediscover the core of biblical Christianity: Loving God and Loving Others.
Memorizing the Great Commandment is one thing, but living by it is quite another. One of today’s most engaging and sought-after Biblical scholars, Scot McKnight demystifies this ancient creed and reveals its power to transform the lives of believers today. He explores how Jesus connected the ancient Jewish commandments to “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul and strength” and to “Love your neighbor as yourself” to become the foundation of his ministry.
In The Jesus Creed, his seminal work, Scot invites followers of Jesus to step back into the world in which Jesus lived and to hear his core teachings like we’ve never heard them before. And just like his disciples, we discover how praying the Jesus Creed will close the gap between the people we are right now and the people God created us to be.

A rare treat: a biblical scholar of first rank offers the fruit of his own personal study, life experience, and prayerful reflections. Clearly written, eminently practical, and based on a wide range of sage traditions (Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish). One does not have to agree with Scot in all the particulars to see that he has produced a work of real value.
