Scot McKnight, Syler Thomas and I worked on a book for students together called, The Jesus Creed for Students. Obviously, it was birthed out of Scot’s original work, The Jesus Creed. Your high school and college students will totally dig this book.
The essence of Jesus’ moral vision is this: His followers are to love God and to love others with everything they’ve got. Love is not one of the virtues but the essence and summary of all virtue. Scot calls this double commandment to love “The Jesus Creed.” We can’t wait until we’re adults to begin loving God and loving others and this book calls students to engage the Jesus Creed today!
In The Jesus Creed for Students we work out the Jesus Creed for high school and college students, seeking to show how it makes sense, giving shape to the moral lives of young adults.
The Jesus Creed for Students is practical, filled with stories, backed up and checked by youth pastors, and it includes discussion questions for further study.
