- Description:
- 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).

- Description:
- Chevis F. Horne was Visiting Professor of Preaching. Dr. Horne is announced as Chapel speaker (0:00-0:16). A hymn is played (0:17-2:41). The choir sings an anthem (2:42-3:32). A word of prayer is followed by another hymn (cut) (3:33-5:35). The Scripture reading is Matthew 25:31-46 (5:36-8:18). The choir sings a song of worship (8:19-11:06). Dr. Horne focuses on the Scripture reading in his message, titled “Surprised by Judgment,” with an emphasis on Jesus as a servant and as a King (11:07-14:15). He finds it surprising how Jesus identified Himself as a servant on earth despite His place on the right hand of God, a place of honor and power (14:16-15:16). He is further surprised at how many poor people there are in the world whose presence he cannot escape now or at the time of Judgment (15:17-18:17). Dr. Horne talks of his surprise of the social questions that will be asked on the day of Judgment (18:18-20:30). He then discusses that believers are truly saved by grace and display graciousness in their lives (20:31-21:43). He also is surprised by Jesus identifying Himself with the poor: their pain is His pain (21:44-26:24). Dr. Horne hopes that those who are going to be pastors would “love, care for, minister for, and identify with their people” (26:25-27:05). He closes with a word of prayer (27:08-27:47). A hymn ends the service (27:48-30:10).

Dorman gives the context of the passage from Matthew to explain the power of words (15:13-19:35). Dorman shares of incidents where words evidently had the power to hurt and to heal, both in humanity and from God (19:36-29:35). The service closes with a prayer of benediction (29:36-30:20).
