  • SEBTS Adams Lecture - Hugh Anderson February 11, 1986

    SEBTS Adams Lecture - Hugh Anderson February 11, 1986
    Description:
    Hugh Anderson was the Professor of New Testament at the University of Edinburgh. The service begins with organ music (0:00-4:02). There is a moment of prayer (4:03-4:35). There is a welcome extended to the guests of the Adams Lectures (4:36-8:15). Hugh Anderson is introduced as the Adams Lecturer (8:16-12:35). Anderson expresses his gratitude for being able to speak and shares his experience in preaching (12:36-16:20). He speaks about the place, significance, and function of preaching (16:21-20:24). Anderson shares about how a pastor shares Scripture and teaching with his or her community and how he or she spends time in prayer and devotion (20:25-25:52). He speaks about how pastors should imitate Paul as he spoke in a way that the people he was speaking to might better understand the gospel (25:53-31:08). He speaks on the joy of exploring the Bible and that one must always return to Scripture as the source of truth and the importance of expositional preaching (31:09-36:31). Anderson speaks about the expectation of preachers to have “achieved an almost angelic status by being able to proclaim ‘I am saved. I know it beyond any trace of a shadow of a doubt.’” and the danger of the idolization of the preacher (36:32-39:04). He uses Paul’s example that the first and last concern of a preacher should be to glorify God, that all Biblical teaching must be theocentric rather than anthropocentrism (39:05-44:34). Anderson argues that putting God on trial and prosecuting Him is rooted in Scripture, giving examples from Jacob wrestling God in Genesis, the repeated protestations of the Psalmist, Job lifting his fist to God, and Jesus asking why God has forsaken Him on the cross, but that God judges those who disobey (44:35-53:13). Anderson explores the manner in which Ezekiel received his message from God, that he should eat it (53:14-56:02). He explains that preaching is a “risky business” because of the constraint to place oneself in front of the text in ignorance (56:03-59:21). The service closes in a word of prayer (59:22-59:59).
