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

Descrizione:
(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).

2. SEBTS Adams Lecture - Fred B. Craddock, Jr. February 15, 1979

Descrizione:
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 (0:00-0:31). Dr. Craddock is introduced and his lecture is entitled “The Shout One” (0:32-2:39). An anthem is sung (cut) (2:40-2:43). Dr. Craddock is thankful for being allowed to lecture (2:44-4:44). He speaks on the burden of preaching, referring to how language is to be used in order to preserve the whisper and the shout (4:45-6:14). He compares preaching to understanding a riddle and sharing the answer (6:15-7:17). Dr. Craddock discusses how language must be lively so that the shout remains lively to prevent the burden of preaching (7:18-10:08). Reading widely, talking to children, and talking to the elderly are suggestions for keeping language lively (10:09-15:10). Dr. Craddock then explains that ultimately the liveliness of the Scripture should be pursued: this liveliness of words will flavor one’s language (15:11-28:43). He emphasizes his readiness to listen to God and being prepared to shout as he recalls the time he conversed with a man who comforted a woman because she had lost her sons in both World Wars (28:44-33:22). Dr. Craddock concludes with mentioning how the women in the Gospel of Mark did not shout that Jesus had risen and with reiterating being ready to listen to the shout (33:23-38:37). A word of prayer closes the service (38:38-38:52).

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

Descrizione:
(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).

4. SEBTS Adams Lecture - Fred B. Craddock, Jr. February 14, 1979

Descrizione:
Fred B. Craddock, Jr. was Bandy Distinguished Professor of Preaching at the Candler School of Theology at Emory University. A word of prayer is given (0:00-1:08). An anthem is sung (cut) (1:09-1:31). Dr. Craddock is introduced as a great teacher and storyteller (1:32-4:33). He enjoys being at the Seminary (4:34-5:58). He speaks on how preaching begins with hearing (5:59-6:28). He reiterates from his first lecture that faith is the whisper and preaching the Gospel is the shout; if they are separated, some will see Christianity as a secret and some will see the Gospel as “common chatter” (6:29-11:08). Dr. Craddock discusses that the liveliness of the words of the Bible, especially in the Gospel, preserve the whisper and the shout and that people choose not to listen to these words due to ignorance (11:09-32:27). He speaks about how George Washington and Abraham Lincoln could have lived longer lives if they had received modern surgical practices to express the possibility that if Jesus had not died He might not have asked God to forgive His ignorant crucifers (32:28-34:28). Dr. Craddock recalls the ignorance of a German friend who would have to wake up every morning to pray and sing hymns as part of the Nazi organization (34:29-35:38). He closes with conveying that “before you can shout it, you must hear the whisper” (35:39-37:14). A word of prayer is given (37:15-37:30). A hymn ends the service (37:31-37:42; the hymn is cut abruptly).
