The Passion as Story

Focusing on the Passion Story in Mark 14:1-16:8, Blackwell emphasizes the importance of detailed textual readings for effective preaching. He provides practical suggestions for preaching, teaching, and Bible study, arguing that understanding the narrative of the cross is crucial for grasping the broader Christian faith. With insights from his experience as Dean of the Chapel at Kansas Wesleyan University, Blackwell aims to deepen the connection between scripture and its presentation in religious contexts.
