1. SEBTS Faculty Lecture - Richard Albert Spencer April 14, 1983
- Description:
- Richard Albert Spencer was Associate Professor of New Testament. Chapel begins with prayer for a hospitalized student (0:00-3:10). Dr. Spencer introduces his lecture on the task of proclaiming the New Testament and preaching (3:10-9:56). The first requirement he discusses for preaching is a personal encounter with Jesus Christ (9:56-12:52). The second requirement for preaching is that the preacher must provide a dialectic between the Scripture and the people. Dr. Spencer discusses various methods to do this well (12:52-48:58). Dr. Spencer closes his lecture with the third requirement for preaching which is to always bring a sermon that points back to Christ (48:58-51:43).

2. SEBTS Adams Lecture - Hugh Anderson February 12, 1986
- Description:
- Hugh Anderson was the Professor of New Testament at the University of Edinburgh. Hugh Anderson is introduced as the Adams Lecturer (0:00-2:07). Anderson desires to share the ties that bind the Old and New Testament (2:08-3:34). He speaks about the common but false belief that there is not much, if any, correlation between the Old and New Testament and that the Old Testament has very little, if any, importance, and gives reasons for the falsity of such a belief, such as Jesus’ own statements in the New Testament books of the gospel referring directly to the Old Testament (3:35-15:52). Anderson speaks on how badmouthing the word of God deprives God of His story (15:23-18:41). Anderson reminds the congregation of two phenomena which inspire one for his task: one should study the Bible in Hebrew as it was written and that the Bible did not come down from heaven in one great swoop, but “represents a never-ending process of translation at the human level,” emphasizing the impact the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible brought to the world (18:42-24:22). Anderson speaks on how “the Christ story is the decisive installment of the serial story of the God who can turn even the wrath of man to His praise and can use even pagan emperors in His service” (24:23-28:18). He speaks on how the author of Hebrews “develops his brilliant witness to Christ as our great High Priest after the order of Melchizedek” by referencing a significant amount of the Old Testament (28:19-29:34). Anderson speaks on how the apostle Paul uses the Old Testament (29:35-32:28). Anderson moves on to a sermon he has previously preached about Proverbs 17:24 and Hebrews 13:13-14, linking the Old Testament with the New (32:29-34:40). He shares a story to illustrate the reverence for life in light of both practical wisdom and the dream of a higher humanity, hoping that it has been taught that thinking and action go hand in hand (34:41-42:40). Anderson speaks of the human longing for another place beyond this world (42:41-51:54). The service closes with a moment of prayer (51:55-52:38).
