Mark C. Carnes

Memoirs of an Unfinished Tale

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“A spotlight illuminates two figures on a darkened stage. The taller actor--is it Russell Crowe?--is . . . Luke. With him is a younger man. Luke is explaining the skepticism that greeted the apostles after the death and resurrection of Jesus. But just as you settle into your chair to watch the actors do their magic, Luke steps forward and addresses you: 'Ask yourself: "Have I allowed my own sense of inadequacy to keep me quiet about what I believe to be the truth?"' Now you are a performer in a timeless existential drama, an inspiring production by Mark Whitters, savvy director, superb Biblical scholar, and masterful pedagogue.”

“Long entombed within the amber prose of King James scholars, Luke the Evangelist here emerges as a deeply human teacher, by turns poetic and even puzzled, yet always profound. Mark Whitters, a superb scholar and perceptive humanist, has found new words and a new way to lead us to a deeper understanding of the words and the way of Jesus of Nazareth.”
