Long before the followers of Jesus declared him to be the Son of God, Jesus taught his followers that they too were the children of God. This ancient creed, now all but forgotten, is recorded still within the folds of a letter of Paul the Apostle. This ancient creed said nothing about God or Christ or salvation. Its claims were about the whole human race: there is no race, there is no class, there is no gender. Followers of Jesus proclaimed: "You are all children of God. There is no Jew or Greek, no slave or free, no male and female, for you are all one."

A credible theory of what Jesus cared about...

The Forgotten Creed and The Lost Way are classics in my (non-scholar) library of early Christianity. Biblical Literalism should have crumbled within a decade or two after Nag Hammadi - but it’s revival by evangelicals is adding fuel to the fires of racism, misogyny, nationalism, and income inequality. Patterson is a wonderful antidote (alongside Borg, Crossan, Ehrman, Eisenbaum, Pagels, and others). His two books together should be read and discussed by all Christians (including lapsed). Progressive Christianity is a possible force to bring screen-weary, polarized, humanity into useful community. If only the Creed had added scientist and non-scientist that community might even tackle actions for a sustainable planet!
