  • SEBTS Adams Lecture - David Allan Hubbard February 10, 1989

    Description:
    David Allan Hubbard was the president of Fuller Theological Seminary in California. Dr. Hubbard is announced as Chapel speaker (0:00-0:20). A hymn is played (0:21-3:14). A word of prayer is given (3:15-3:53). Dr. Hubbard is introduced (3:54-4:41). The choir sings a hymn (4:42-7:17). Dr. Hubbard speaks on Christian fellowship and hope (7:118-12:24). He then begins his lecture on the Song of Solomon with the question, “do you know what you are reading?” (12:25-13:12). He discusses that the Song of Solomon is an important inspired book of the Bible and the possible time during which it was written (13:13-17:09). The book consists of six major poems: anticipation of a marriage in the first two poems, consummation in the third poem, and an aftermath in the last three poems (17:10-18:04). Dr. Hubbard conveys the stylized descriptiveness of the Song by highlighting the groom’s arrival, the formal session of a wedding, and the cherishing of a bride (18:05-21:14). He explains the love triangle between Solomon, a shepherd, and a woman, with an emphasis on the connection between poetry and paganism in the Song (21:15-26:09). The six major poems are comprised of subsets of poems, such as descriptive poems of devotion, passion, and possession (26:10-31:33). Dr. Hubbard mentions the use of narratives as well as catch words that link the poems together to create unity (31:34-33:09). The Bible is about marriage, and thus the Song of Solomon is a love song that focuses on the love and union between a man and a woman (33:10-38:05). Dr. Hubbard speaks about the royal relationship between the groom and bride that the Song stresses within its poems (38:06-39:47). The Song of Solomon is the best song due to its quality of poetry and its subject matter—love and marriage (39:48-41:57). The book emphases human love at its best, which is made possible by God (41:58-44:52). Dr. Hubbard provides four pastoral applications: love is mutual, love is exclusive, love is total, and love is beautiful (44:53-48:58). He concludes with saying that the Song of Solomon is applicable in the Christian home and with a word on heavenly marriage (48:59-51:11). A word of prayer ends the lecture (51:12-51:31).
