The Jesus Creed - Loving God, Loving Others

When an expert in the law of Moses 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. This is what Scot McKnight calls the ''Jesus Creed''. He has written this book for all Christians who want to find out how it can transform their lives - and the lives of those around them.>
