1. SEBTS Carver-Barnes Lecture - John B. Cobb November 5, 1985

Description:
John B. Cobb was the Ingraham Professor of Theology at the Claremont School of Theology. The service begins with a word of prayer (00:00-01:15). John B. Cobb is introduced as the Carver-Barnes Lecturer (01:16-04:07). Cobb’s lecture is entitled “Towards the Christocentric Inclusivism.” He begins his lecture by stating that the posture of Christians should be the seeking of engagement with all truths (04:08-08:10). Cobb’s first point is about inclusive Christology, and he argues that the message of Christ being the center of mankind has been lost in recent centuries (08:11-18:51). Cobb’s second point is that, in both academia and the church, Christ has been separated from other disciplines, and the separation has extended itself into all disciplines (18:52-28:14). Cobb’s third point is a critique of both divided secular and theological education and modern economic theories, and he lays out the biblical principle of unity of humans and creation that runs counter to these theories (28:15-50:03). The service ends with a benediction (50:01-51:14).
