1. SEBTS Faculty Lecture - Fred Allen Grissom November 17, 1988

Beschreibung:
Fred Allen Grissom was SEBTS Associate Professor of Church History. Grissom is announced as Chapel speaker (0:00-0:10). Hymns are played (0:11-7:59). A word of prayer is given (8:00-8:59). Grissom’s lecture is greatly anticipated (8:40-9:06). Grissom begins with Scripture reading from Matthew 7:3-5 (9:07-9:45). He states that this is his first faculty address and that he plans to discuss the importance of studying history with a focus on how culture influences biblical interpretation (9:46-15:59). He expresses that cultural norms lead to different interpretations, using the literal interpretation of men not trimming their beards in the book of Leviticus as an example (16:00-19:20). Grissom further discusses that Christians believe that cultural norms are reflected in the Bible as well as that their institutions are sanctioned in the Bible (19:21-19:57). He uses the examples of the sanctioning of slavery and segregation to come to the argument that biblical interpretations are influenced by the culture of the interpreter (19:58-26:46). He then provides an analogy to prove that this argument is true even in present society: we all have culture filtered “glasses” (26:47-29:26). We have different filters, yet we all filter biblical revelations that we identify with on a personal level (29:27-33:08). Our glasses affect our applications of the affirmations about the Bible (33:09-35:43). Grissom conveys that we go so far as to deny culture’s influence, and thus our filters become blinders that lead to our interpretations becoming absolute and our creation of God in our own image (35:44-37:47). To combat these blinders, Grissom provides four steps: 1) to become more aware of the presuppositions at the foundation of our cultural complex, 2) to see through different “glasses,” 3) to expand our vision further by listening to those of even different cultures, and 4) to study the languages of others in order to better understand the meaning of their words (37:48-40:04). He concludes with urging everyone to learn as much about our culture and other people’s cultures from the present and past so that the Bible is not misinterpreted (40:05-41:34).

2. SEBTS Spring Lecture - Brevard S. Childs March 20, 1985

Beschreibung:
Audio quality becomes poor near the end of the recording. Dr. Brevard S. Childs was a leading Old Testament scholar during the 20th century and Professor of Old Testament at Yale Divinity School. The service begins with organ music (00:00-05:05). The speaker gives a word of prayer (05:06-05:45). Brevard S. Childs is introduced as the Spring Lecturer (05:46-09:00). The title of Child’s lecture is the question "Is Biblical Theology Still Possible?" First, Childs addresses the side-lining of biblical theology for historical, philosophical, and dogmatic concerns and evaluation of the Scriptures (09:01-33:54). Second, Childs addresses two new approaches in using the Bible theologically, a sociological model and a philosophical model, and he argues that all these models fail because the Bible shapes the church, not the other way around (33:55-44:44). Finally, Childs admits that Biblical theology is not possible at the present time, but he has hope for the future that Biblical theology can once again be profitable through grassroots faithfulness of the church (44:45-54:55). The speaker gives a benediction at the end of the lecture (54:56-55:35). The service ends with organ music (55:36-59:54).

6. Dr. Keith Parks interview 1 of 2

Beschreibung:
Dr. Keith Parks was President of the Foreign Mission Board (FMB), now known as the International Mission Board (IMB). The interview begins with Parks speaking on the process of getting to know the missionaries during his time as president, and he emphasizes the importance of the local churches and cooperation for missions (0:00:0-0:12:01). Parks briefly talks about the impact of his ecclesiology class at Southwestern, and he opens up on his thoughts about the changes that happened in the Southern Baptist Convention in the 1980s that led to his resignation as President of the FMB (0:12:02-0:24:44). Parks gives his definition of missions as the church reaching beyond itself, and he stresses the importance of being ecumenical and having diversity of thought in the denomination (0:24:45-0:35:06). Parks criticizes the decisions and the appointments made to the FMB and the seminaries during the Conservative Resurgence which led him to resign, and he speaks about certain colleagues who the trustees of the convention saw as liberal (0:35:07-0:51:49). Parks briefly speaks on Paige Patterson’s contribution to the FMB, but he also speaks openly about Patterson’s desire to see him resign as President of the FMB (0:51:50-1:03:40). Parks gives his list of basic Baptist beliefs, and he opposes the idea of inherency as a one of the basic beliefs, along with creedalism (1:03:41-1:06:50). Parks believes there must be a theological bedrock for missions alongside a gifting and calling, and he believes that the centrality and love of Christ should be the drive of a missionary (1:06:51-1:13:40). Parks gives further criticism of the doctrine of inherency, but he does believe that Jesus, unlike the Scriptures, was without flaw (1:13:41-1:19:55).

7. Dr. Keith Parks interview 2 of 2

Beschreibung:
Dr. Keith Parks was President of the Foreign Mission Board (FMB), now known as the International Mission Board (IMB). Part 2 of the interview begins with Parks giving his own thoughts on the doctrine of inherency, and he believes that the Bible may have errors but not enough to compromise theology (00:00-04:15). Parks gives his reason why he took a position with the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship (CBF) after he resigned from the FMB, and he believes that the CBF are good Southern Baptist who do not discriminate over theological differences (04:16-15:05). The interview concludes with Parks saying that the CBF approached him before his resignation at the FMB, and he gives his last word on the changes in the strategy that both the CBF and the SBC have taken to reach the nations with the gospel (15:06-18:46).
