Engaging with the Nicene Creed through Contextual Bible Study: Mark 10:17‐22

Abstract The year 2025 offers the church an opportunity to reflect on the Nicene Creed in dialogue with Mark 10:17‐22. This Bible study–based dialogue invites us all – particularly those who have been marginalized by political, economic, and ecclesial systems of oppression – to be instructed by Jesus on the mechanisms of systemic economic oppression. Even the Nicene Creed can learn from Jesus if we incorporate into each of its four sections the voices of the marginalized who have, through contextual Bible study work, offered the church revised forms of the Nicene Creed.
