  • SEBTS Adams Lecture - David Allan Hubbard February 8, 1989

    Description:
    David Allan Hubbard was the president of Fuller Theological Seminary in California. Dr. Hubbard is announced as Chapel speaker with a message entitled “Job: Freedom and Suffering” (0:00-0:19). A hymn is played (0:20-2:57). A word of prayer is given (2:58-3:57). Background information regarding Dr. Ted Adams is provided and Dr. Hubbard is welcomed (3:58-8:23). The choir sings an anthem (8:24-14:01). Dr. Hubbard expresses Southeastern’s music (14:02-15:51). He begins his lecture by explaining how complex the book of Job is and the reward of understanding this complexity (15:52-19:22). From Job, we learn that we are not alone, that we should not emulate the friends in Job, and that we must open ourselves to God who has the right to work purposes unbeknownst to us (19:23-21:10). Dr. Hubbard discusses the stylized balance of Job: it begins and ends with a story consisting of complaints and disputations (21:11-31:35). He also speaks of the balanced movement in Job as one event transitions to another event (31:36-33:30). Dr. Hubbard emphasizes the ethos of Job as one that is a mixture of mystery and argument (33:31-35:50). He then delves into human vulnerability during suffering and human duty as well as divine freedom and sovereignty as themes of human life and divine reality (35:51-42:20). Covenantal themes exits in Job regarding the relationship between God and Job: the relationship allows Job to doubt and trust God and involves God speaking and Job bowing (42:21-45:17). Dr. Hubbard expounds on how the book of Job conveys that life is complicated and provides an understanding of the afterlife (45:18-47:25). Pastorally, the book of Job must be taken as a whole to prepare people for suffering, to give them the freedom to complain, and to show them the way to the cross during their suffering (47:26-51:53). A word of prayer concludes the lecture (51:54-52:19).
