"Creedal messianism" is Stephen Rose's original term for the belief system that the church, including original witnesses, created to obscure Jesus' iconoclastic understanding of the gospel.
Rose argues that messianism is a cruel virus which eats away at the very essence of selfhood.
In Beyond Creed he shows how messianism has hampered the veryprogress Jesus sought to bring about on earth.
