  • SEBTS Convocation - Samuel Howard Miller September 8, 1960 PM

    Descrizione:
    The service begins with prayer (00:00-01:18), and 2 Corinthians 4:1-15 is read aloud before praying again (01:19-06:19). Dr. Miller, the Dean of Harvard Divinity School, is introduced according to his educational, ministerial, and working background. The title of his message is “Faith Beyond Conformity” (06:20-08:18). Dr. Miller begins by talking about the importance and rarity of actually living in your own epoch instead of trying to keep another epoch alive outside of its time (08:19-19:32). He mentions that three recent breakthroughs in the history of humanity have expanded the reach of human sin: spacial (interstellar) exploration and great power, a deep exploration of the human’s life (psychology), and the new creation of a world order via science, industry, and transportation. He mentions these because it is the task of the openness of faith to unite the inner man with the outer environment so that the two are integrated in meaning (19:33-26:45). The Christian Faith in man is complex, and it must continually respond to the questions raised against it by each epoch’s key figures; to be faithful to the first century but to deny the needs of one’s own century is indeed not Christian at all (26:46-35:55). The Christian Faith reconciles honest contradictions into beautiful unity through reconciliation and atonement (to save life is to lose it, and to lose life now is to save it) (35:56-47:29). The service closes with the reading of Ephesians 3:20-21 (47:30-48:03).

  • SEBTS Convocation - Samuel Howard Miller September 8, 1960 AM

    Descrizione:
    The first and fourth stanzas of the hymn “Come, Thou Almighty King” is prayed over the congregation at the tenth convocation of the seminary’s existence (00:00-00:42). President Sydnor Lorenzo Stealey introduces Dr. Miller concerning his educational, ministerial, and working background; he was the Dean of Harvard Divinity School (00:43-05:29). Dr. Miller’s sermon title is “Souls Threshed from their Husks,” a phrase taken from William Blake’s work. He believes the prime urgency of the ministry of the twentieth century is to be a well-founded, unconfused person, since many are confused as to what this means. Such a man, through theological integration, has been stripped of the world’s illusions and understands true personhood in Christ (05:30-22:16). We must live “at the growing edge redemptively” – the edge where God’s revelations come to life in difficult moments when sometimes words fail to pass from our lips (22:17-37:52). The crises of our lives force us to answer for ourselves what we think, feel, or believe alone before God, and these moments are what God uses to thresh our souls from their husks over our lifetimes (37:53-41:44).
