When an expert in the law asked Jesus for the greatest commandment, Jesus responded with the Shema, the ancient Jewish creed that commands Israel to love God with heart, soul, mind, and strength. But the next part of Jesus' answer would change the course of history. Jesus amended the Shema, giving his followers a new creed for life: to love God with heart, soul, mind, and strength, but also to love others as themselves.
In The Jesus Creed, biblical scholar and popular teacher Scot McKnight presents a 30-chapter guide to spiritual formation (based on these, the two greatest commandments) rich in theological insight and alive with practical applications from the Bible, history and the author's life.
