Preaching Mark in Two Voices

Brian Blount and Gary Charles team up to introduce us anew to Marks Gospel. Reinterpreting Mark through sermons preached out of very different socio-cultural contexts Blount draws parallels between Marks message and the African American churchs heritage of slavery and oppression while Charles wrestles with making the Gospel relevant to well-educated white suburbanites. Each chapter begins with an exegetical study and sermon by one author. Then the other preacher responds from his own context offering a different view of the text.
