Book Overview

"Make sure this new guide for living is on your shelf." --Max Lucado

A fresh anniversary edition of Scott McKnight's life-giving classic. With more than 65,000 copies sold, The Jesus Creed is Scot McKnight's bestselling book, a remarkable summary of what biblical Christianity is at its core: Loving God and Loving Others. It fosters a practical understanding, appreciation of and application of Christian formation in grace and love toward God and Neighbor.

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.

In The Jesus Creed, you will:

Learn about the identities, hopes and struggles of the people closest to Jesus - Joseph and Mary, John the Baptist, Peter, and John

Discover how Jesus's radical acts of compassion restore those who are marginalized, oppressed, or grieving

Discover how the Jesus Creed can shape society to grow in justice, faith, and joy

Discover how the Jesus Creed deepens our love for Jesus, leading to healing, forgiveness and wholeness in our personal lives

Loving your neighbor

The Jesus Creed - Loving God, Loving Others by Scot McKnight Summary by G. Stephen Goode From the Preface -- "A Jewish expert on the law once asked Jesus what was the most important thing for spiritual formation. Jesus' answer turned history upside down for those who followed him. This book is an invitation for you to explore Jesus' answer to that man. I call it the Jesus Creed, and what he said should shape everything...

Gripping Summary of Christ's Motives on Earth

I read some of Scot McKnight's earlier work, but this title takes the cake. The Jeus Creed which captures and repaints the Christian faith in a one-sentence mantra to love God and love people provides thankfully easy-to-comprehend (but hard to live out) content. I particularly liked the use of the table metahor in discussions over Christians' roles in their surrounding culture. The image of table of course was one that...

The Good News is still simple

In our complex society filled with temptations and quickness to judge, it MAKES SENSE that the gospel is still as simple as it has ever been. We as a culture have become more complicated. Jesus has remained the same, and so has his message of love and selflessness. Scot McKnight's book has shed light on the simplicity, thoroughness, and applicability of Jesus's "Creed" unlike any other theological book I have read. And...

Understanding Why Jesus Still Matters

For those seeking to know more about Jesus, there are few if any books out there that will serve you better than The Jesus Creed. Part of what sets McKnight's writing apart is his gift for combining sound scholarship with a down to earth writing style and a great sense of humor. That makes for a book of profound insight that it also very readable. It not only informs the mind, but touches the soul. Another strength...
