The Jesus Creed: Loving God, Loving Others - 15th Anniversary Edition

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.

• 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
