Blacklock studied at the University of Edinburgh, and was licensed to preach in 1739. In 1762, he was ordained parish minister of Kirkcudbright, but due to blindness had to resign and retire on an annuity. He went to Edinburgh and there received as boarders university students and boys attending school. In 1767, he received a D.D. degree from Marischal College, University of Aberdeen. Blacklock was one of the earliest literary friends of poet Robert Burns.

The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
