drbobcornwall's review against another edition
3.0
I will note that I haven't read the original book, though I'm a regular reader of Scot McKnight's blog, and I did look over the table contents for the original on Amazon! This book seems to be a freshly written attempt to bring Scot's concept of the Jesus Creed to high school students. And what is the Jesus Creed" Love God and Love your neighbor.
I'm not a youth minister (or a high school student), so I had to read the book as a pastor who is looking to recommend resources to youth groups or to a young person exploring their faith. Although Scot is to my right theologically, I think this would be an appropriate work of for mainliners.
The two co-authors appear to have helped frame the text for a younger audience -- I say this because I've read enough of Scot's works to know that he doesn't really write in quite this fashion.
