Praise for this book

"Amid a sea of books on Christian spiritual formation, McKnight brings us a simple, highly readable one focused on the weightiest teaching of Jesus: love God and love others as yourself. . . . McKnight shows great respect for the Jewish heritage of Jesus and offers readers scholarly, yet highly accessible, illustrations of the sociocultural landscape of first century Palestine.--Publishers Weekly

"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." --Scott Hahn

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

"Scot brings us into conversation with Jesus in the places and conditions in which we live our ordinary lives." --Eugene H. Peterson

"Scot has been a kind of secret weapon for my own education and growth. Now he can be yours as well. This book will bring Jesus' world and yours much closer together." --John Ortberg

"McKnight's book first came out 10 years ago. This is an anniversary edition in which McKnight again asks not what the creedal confessions of the Christian church have been throughout its history but, rather, what Jesus' own creed might have been. McKnight reduces that creed to loving God and loving neighbor." --Bill Tammeus, KC Star "Faith Matters" blog
