- Disclaimer: The first portion of the service is inaudible. Russell Jones was an MDiv student at Southeastern Seminary. The service begins with Scripture readings (0:00-1:59). Several women give a presentation about the birth of Jesus (2:00-5:03). Jones shares his thoughts about women who have been called into ministry and reads from Galatians 3:28 (5:04-6:19). Jones admits to being a skeptic when it comes to Scripture, especially about God’s acceptance, and he speaks on the difficulty of hearing Paul say there is not a division to be made between types of people (6:20-7:40). He speaks on tearing down the walls of what a minister is supposed to be like, removing the masculine and feminine labels and replacing them with attributes devoid of gender assumptions (7:41-12:13). Jones argues that “denying church ordination to a person on the basis of sex” does a great injustice (12:14-18:29). The congregation shares in reciting the litany of affirmation (18:30-20:59). The service ends with a benediction (21:00-21:33).

- Description:
- The service begins with a call to worship through a responsive reading (0:00-0:99). The congregation is encouraged to examine their hearts, confess their sins and sorrows, and are led in prayer (1:00-5:25). Osborne reads from Genesis 1 and speaks about the powerful affirmation of being created in the image of God (5:26-6:32). She speaks about how our words and experience are tied together, giving examples of familiar images we associate with God (6:33-7:48). Osborne suggests the image of God as mother, which she believes to be colorful and new (7:49-8:40). She suggests that all the attributes of stereotypical males and females are attributes which we find in God, saying, “Just as the characteristics we typify as male or female are present in the humanness of all humans, so they are equally present in the godness of God” (8:41-9:43). Osborne argues that the female language of faith has been overlooked over the centuries in favor of the male language of faith, and that both aspects should be considered in relation to God and people (9:44-13:22). There is a litany of thanksgiving (13:23-15:04). Another speaker shares about how all people are made in the image of God and that creation would not be the same without people (15:05-16:40). One’s view on Jesus shifts based on the understanding that people are made in the image of God, that people are not called to be like Jesus, yet still image bearers of God (16:41-19:04). She shares moments when she saw the image of God played out (19:05-22:22). There is a litany of thanksgiving for people who have lived out God’s image in their day and who have worked to see free the image of God in others, such as the Hebrew midwives who subverted the power of Pharaoh, stuttering Moses, courageous Ruth, timid Mary, Sojourner Truth, Martin Luther King Jr., and others, including those who have personally touched the lives of the congregation (22:23-27:00). There is a congregational prayer and responsive reading (27:01-28:10).

- Description:
- Nancy Ferree was the Assistant Campus Minister at Duke Chapel. The service begins with organ music (0:00-5:22). There is a Scripture reading (5:23-6:05). Prayer concerns are shared with the congregation and there is a moment of prayer (6:06-10:02). Nancy Ferree is introduced as the chapel speaker (10:03-10:34). Ferree expresses her appreciation for being asked to speak (10:35-10:09). She reads from James 2:14-17 and Mark 8:27-38 (10:10-14:06). Ferree speaks about people living up to titles they have and the disgrace they bring upon themselves if they do not live up to the titles they own (14:07-17:35). Ferree shares that in the Scripture on which she is teaching, Jesus and the disciples speak about Jesus’ title: the Christ (17:36-19:56). She explains that it’s easier to envision a great Messiah to come rather than to see the Jesus of the New Testament as the Son of God (19:57-20:10). Ferree shares of someone in her life who has exemplified the work of Christ and doing so for Christ’s glory instead of one’s own (20:11-26:25). She charges the seminarians to humbly and carefully examine their character and desire in ministry and to remember they each have an invaluable contribution to the church (26:24-27:25). She shares about a friend of hers who was a female minister in order to show that one should look past one’s title (27:26-28:57). The service ends with a charge for the students (28:58-29:16).

- Hugh Anderson was the Professor of New Testament at the University of Edinburgh. The service begins with a word of prayer (0:00-1:09). Hugh Anderson is introduced as the Adams Lecturer (1:10-3:27). Anderson introduces his presentation by explaining his intention to offer his observations on the book of Revelation and expresses his gratitude for being asked to speak (3:28-6:23). Anderson provides context for the various beliefs of Scriptural inerrancy and contextual situation, including the criticism of Charles Augustus Briggs and I. A. Dorner (6:24-12:00). He speaks on theologians and scholars who had strong opinions about the God-given authority and inspiration of Scripture and how a lack of critical Biblical judgement caused a failure of influence in America because ministers believed they could not afford such intellectual problems (12:01-15:45). Critical analysis of the Bible became something that was done in the pulpit and the pews rather than in scholarly institutions (15:46-16:55). Anderson speaks about the crisis historical criticism has created within the scholarly arena and lists reasons why he believes that is (16:56-26:58). Anderson desires to argue against the criticisms leveled against the historical approach to understanding Scripture because he believes historical context is helpful (26:59-28:44). Anderson turns to provide an overview of the Apocalypse in Revelation through the lens of the historical crisis, speaking on the fascination people have with the end of this life, the genre of the book of Revelation, the beliefs of what the images mean, and the impact the understanding of the book has on society (28:45-29:58). Anderson shares that the book of Revelation is either looked upon with affection or with hatred because of one’s interpretation of it (29:59-37:52). He speaks about the interpretation of the term “pharmakeia” to mean either “drugs” or “witchcraft” and the interpretation of “wine” to be a symbol of bloodshed (37:53-42:19). Anderson argues that Revelation should be understood through the letters written to the churches and the visions that follow and when it is set against its historic background (42:20-56:55). The service closes in a moment of prayer (56:56-58:02).

- Description:
- Hugh Anderson was the Professor of New Testament at the University of Edinburgh. The service begins with a word of prayer (0:00-0:45). Hugh Anderson is thanked for speaking as the Adams Lecturer (0:46-2:58). Anderson shares his gratefulness for the tribute he has been given (2:59-5:05). Anderson shares about the four gospels in the New Testament (5:06-7:13). He speaks about the fundamentalist and conservative evangelicals and shares his concern about those who receive theological training who do not share the critical techniques with their churches (7:14-14:28). Anderson shares two results of the reformed critical approach of the gospels and gives examples of how to teach such an approach: first, that the disciples were speaking theologically instead of historically and that the preacher should teach it in the same way, and second, that the authors of the gospel related the material in their books to real life situations (14:29-31:44). Anderson speaks about the ways people interpret the gospels and teach them, giving an example of his own method using the text of Mark 8:13-21 (31:45-48:18). Anderson remarks about his wonder on how young pastors relate to those with lifetime experiences in their congregations (48:19-51:00). He says that “imagination is the indispensable companion of authentic Christian hope” (51:01-54:46). There is an announcement for a picture taking session (54:47-55:14). The service closes in a blessing (55:15-55:34).

- 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).

- Description:
- Hugh Anderson was the Professor of New Testament at the University of Edinburgh. The service begins with organ music (0:00-4:02). There is a moment of prayer (4:03-4:35). There is a welcome extended to the guests of the Adams Lectures (4:36-8:15). Hugh Anderson is introduced as the Adams Lecturer (8:16-12:35). Anderson expresses his gratitude for being able to speak and shares his experience in preaching (12:36-16:20). He speaks about the place, significance, and function of preaching (16:21-20:24). Anderson shares about how a pastor shares Scripture and teaching with his or her community and how he or she spends time in prayer and devotion (20:25-25:52). He speaks about how pastors should imitate Paul as he spoke in a way that the people he was speaking to might better understand the gospel (25:53-31:08). He speaks on the joy of exploring the Bible and that one must always return to Scripture as the source of truth and the importance of expositional preaching (31:09-36:31). Anderson speaks about the expectation of preachers to have “achieved an almost angelic status by being able to proclaim ‘I am saved. I know it beyond any trace of a shadow of a doubt.’” and the danger of the idolization of the preacher (36:32-39:04). He uses Paul’s example that the first and last concern of a preacher should be to glorify God, that all Biblical teaching must be theocentric rather than anthropocentrism (39:05-44:34). Anderson argues that putting God on trial and prosecuting Him is rooted in Scripture, giving examples from Jacob wrestling God in Genesis, the repeated protestations of the Psalmist, Job lifting his fist to God, and Jesus asking why God has forsaken Him on the cross, but that God judges those who disobey (44:35-53:13). Anderson explores the manner in which Ezekiel received his message from God, that he should eat it (53:14-56:02). He explains that preaching is a “risky business” because of the constraint to place oneself in front of the text in ignorance (56:03-59:21). The service closes in a word of prayer (59:22-59:59).

The service begins with a Scripture reading from Micah 6:8 and a prayer (0:00-1:01). Foy Valentine is introduced as the chapel speaker (1:02-3:15). Valentine reads from Matthew 22 (3:16-4:18). Valentine speaks about the moral imperative required for Christian faith in every aspect of life (4:19-8:42). He shares that this life is not all there is, and he speaks about how some people attempt to become more holy (8:43-11:01). He explains the moral ground of the gospel is God’s revelation of His holiness (11:02-14:57). He suggests the seminary education is about having a grasp on God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit (14:58-21:01). Valentine shares that he believes salvation is not propositional, but experiential (21:02-25:47). Valentine closes the service in a word of prayer (25:48-27:04).

- John William Eddins, Jr. was Professor of Theology at Southeastern Seminary. The service begins with a Scripture reading and a moment of prayer (0:00-1:01). Eddins begins his presentation by reading passages of Scripture from the New Testament (1:02-2:00). He shares an anecdote from his childhood to illustrate the Proverb about letting conscience being one’s guide (2:01-6:20). Eddins speaks about how Scripture views conscience, Christ, and Christian behavior (6:21-6:34). He defines conscience and speaks about how it is affected, drawing from Scripture in various New Testament books (6:35-9:15). He explains that wounding a fellow believer’s conscience is sinning against Christ and shows how a Christian’s behavior is a witness of the love of Christ (9:16-18:11). Eddins closes the service in a word of prayer (18:12-18:26).
