Christ Before Creeds

Rediscovering the Jesus of History

By: Jeff Deuble

Narrated by: Jeff Deuble, Mark Cain

Just when you thought you knew who Jesus was, along comes a book like this to profoundly challenge and wonderfully inspire. Most Christians are unaware of how different their Western worldview is from those who wrote the original accounts of Jesus’ life. Pastor Jeff Deuble issues a clarion call to prioritize biblical testimony over the later church creeds that were influenced by Greek philosophical thinking, so as to rediscover simple, uncluttered Christianity.

Meticulously presenting information from biblical, historical, Jewish, and Christian sources about how the early followers of Christ thought about him, this book promises new insight and an enriched understanding of Christ’s identity. More than informative, Christ Before Creeds is an invitation to examine the identity of Jesus the Messiah, engaging with respect and grace.

Critic reviews

"Jeff points to an authentic Jesus who can’t be sung to sleep or contained in a creed... Good will come from the dialogue this book will generate.”—Graham Long, pastor emeritus of The Wayside Chapel in Sydney, Australia, author of Love Over Hate: Finding Life By The Wayside

Clear, concise, and helpful.

This is a very helpful small and approachable book on the topic of the relationship of the Father Son and Holy Spirit. Even if you disagree with the authors conclusions he makes thoughtful coherent and compassionate arguments.

Paradigm shifting

As someone who has struggled with the concept of the trinity, I appreciate this well researched and referenced book.
