Digital Logos Edition
Best of 2025$8.99
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.
In The Jesus Creed, you will:
This is a Logos Reader Edition. Learn more.

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.

Scot has penned an overall memorable and impactful read. However, as a member of the academy I would expect his illustrations to be impeccably researched and on point. His story regarding a compassionate rabbi, one Abba "Tachnah the Pious" is a misrepresentation of one Abba Tehina (also called Tehina ben Perisha ["the Pharisee"] or Hasida ["the pious one"]. One can confirm my recounting on JewishEncyclopedia.com. The two stories align enough to confirm that we are retelling a tale about the same character, however Tehina is not quite the hero he is made out to be in Dr. McKnight's telling. Also, Dr. McKnight's drones on in spots and loses the pace he sets in the better parts of the book. For the sake of brevity, you will have to read his otherwise excellent book to confirm my assertion. I do despite these flaws recommend this book.
