58. SEBTS Adams Lecture - Fred B. Craddock, Jr. February 13, 1979

Description:
(audio quality is poor) Fred B. Craddock, Jr. was Bandy Distinguished Professor of Preaching at the Candler School of Theology at Emory University. A word of prayer begins the service (0:00-0:17). Visitors are welcomed and the announcement of this being the third annual of the Adams Lectures is made (0:18-1:47). Dr. Fred Craddock is introduced and his lectures will be on preaching and the practice of ministry (1:48-5:40). The anthem is sung (cut) (5:41-5:45). Dr. Craddock is honored to lecture (5:46-7:26). He informs the congregation that he will be discussing preaching in his lectures, with his first lecture focusing on the forms of biblical material in regards to the nature of preaching (7:27-9:47). He explains that just as architecture plays a role in creating a certain experience so does the shape of words, specifically the lively words of the Bible (9:48-12:00). Dr. Craddock refers to Matthew 10 to convey that preaching is “public whispering” (12:01-14:44). He mentions that gossip in church does not define public whispering (14:45-17:22). Preaching can affect someone’s life positively or negatively, which Dr. Craddock says is frightening (17:23-18:27). If a message is worth hearing, the preacher is worth listening to (18:28-19:31). Dr. Craddock clarifies that preaching is public whispering to the listener because one must “lean forward” to grab on to faith in order to hear the Gospel (19:32-23:24). It is called whispering because not everyone can hear it, not everyone has the “ear of faith” (23:25-26:55). Dr. Craddock speaks on the public opinion of Jesus as the Messiah from Matthew 16 (26:56-31:20; the audio ends abruptly without Dr. Craddock finishing the lecture).

60. SEBTS Adams Lecture - Fred B. Craddock, Jr. February 16, 1979

Description:
(audio is poor towards the beginning) Fred B. Craddock, Jr. was Bandy Distinguished Professor of Preaching at the Candler School of Theology at Emory University. A word of prayer begins the service (0:00-0:34). Dr. Craddock is introduced and thanked for his lectures (0:35-5:06). The choir sings (cut) (5:07-5:19). Dr. Craddock offers thanks for his introduction (5:20-7:04). He speaks on the burden of preaching—the effect of language—and refers back to Matthew 10 to reiterate the topic of the whisper and the shout (7:05-7:27). True preaching is always in a whisper to the listener and always in a shout to the speaker; the whisper and the shout cannot be separated (7:28-8:22). Dr. Craddock explains that when he talks about the shout he is not talking about volume, but rather about witnessing (8:23-11:38). Though the shout is an act of power and clarity to demonstrate an urgency of the message, it does not require one to elevate their voice (11:39-24:05). Dr. Craddock expresses the importance of staying in tune to the needs of the people in order to make the shout appropriate for their lives (24:06-30:07). He discusses that the greatest shout is when one proclaims the Gospel on a personal level, and he speaks on Jesus’ lordship and kingship (30:08-38:33). He closes with mentioning that whenever he shouts he will ask God to include His still small voice (38:34-39:09). A word of prayer ends the service (39:10-39:54).
