A Political Reading of Mark's Gospel: with Dr. Stephen Backhouse

<p>In this fascinating episode, Steve talks to Dr. Stephen Backhouse about the field of Political Theology, who then demonstrates that discipline by applying it to the Gospel of Mark.</p> <p>During COVID, Dr. Backhouse released a 31-part podcast series in which he takes listeners through a political reading of the book of Mark. Each episode is 30-40 minutes long and presented in a delightfully casual, accessible manner.  Host Steve Bell found the series to be transformative and hopes this conversation will entice some of you to check it out. </p> <p>Go To:<br /> <a title="Tent Theology" href="https://www.tenttheology.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">https://www.tenttheology.com/</a><br /> and click on The Gospel of Mark<br /> (it's free)</p> <p>Spoiler alert! For Dr. Backhouse, 'political' does not equal 'partisan.' This is not about how one should vote in an election. Backhouse invites listeners to consider that Political Theology is a more fully-orbed contemplation of how we use our power in the world in the light of Biblical revelation... particularly, the life and teachings of Jesus.</p> <p>We hope to have Stephen Backhouse back in the early new year to discuss his book, Kierkegaard: A Single Life (Zondervan, 2016).  From the slip cover: "This new biography introduces Kierkegaard in his many disguises—the thinker, the lover, the recluse, the writer, the controversialist—in prose so compelling it reads like a novel,"</p> <p>You may want to order and read the book in advance. </p> <p><img src= "//assets.libsyn.com/show/455865/71xiG5hmNtL._AC_UF10001000_QL80_.jpg" alt="Stephen Backhouse Kierkegaard Book Cover" width="254" height= "387" /></p>
