- 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).

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).

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 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).

- 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 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).

Glenn Hinson is introduced as the chapel speaker (4:23-6:58). An anthem is sung by the choir (6:59-9:20). Hinson directs the attention of the congregation to II Corinthians 12:1-10 and reads his personal translation (9:21-12:08). Hinson recounts how he turns to hope found within Scripture to cope with difficult times and circumstances (12:09-14:28). He explains that sometimes people blame God for the trying times and circumstances one faces (14:29-16:00). Hinson speaks about how people flippantly attribute bad things to God’s will, and he believes that idea comes from John Calvin’s view that everything has been predestined by God (16:01-17:24). But he gives the idea that Paul does not think that way in this passage, rather attributing the bad things of life to the work of the devil (17:25- 20:30). Hinson explains how science and technology, human toil has been eased, which causes people to seek external solutions for every problem, which is a deception and dulls the effects of sin (20:31-26:37). He shares how he personally found God’s grace and love in his own trials to illustrate that people should seek that amid human weakness (26:38-32:24). He closes the service in a word of prayer (32:25-33:44).

- Rev. David Yeager was the pastor of College Parkway Baptist Church in Arnold, Maryland. The service begins with a word of prayer (0:00-0:55). David Yeager is introduced as the chapel speaker (0:56-2:10). Yeager reads Scripture from Matthew 4:1-11 (2:11-4:13). Yeager speaks on understanding the temptations of Jesus considering Jesus’ hypostatic union (4:14-6:20). He introduced three observations drawn from the temptation of Jesus (6:21-7:18). His first observation is that some things are more important than next week’s paycheck, meaning that one must teach what Scripture says even if it is offensive to the congregation (7:19-10:30). Yeager’s second observation is that one doesn’t score many points by quoting Scripture to God, meaning that one cannot force God to conform to how a person understands Scripture (10:31-13:38). Yeager’s third observation is that God does not wear wing tips (13:39-17:09). The service closes with a benediction (17:10-17:32).

Gaddy speaks of the word “hallelujah” being “ecstatic, unrestricted praise” and shares that one must not hold anything back in worshipping Jesus even if people worship in different ways (13:06-21:16). Gaddy argues, using the idea that if Zacchaeus would have held back his abandon, he may not have experienced Jesus, to show that all believers should not hold anything back lest they miss experiencing Jesus (21:17-26:29). Gaddy closes the service in a word of prayer (26:30-26:56).
