- Description:
- Dr. Brevard S. Childs was a leading Old Testament scholar during the 20th century and Professor of Old Testament at Yale Divinity School. The service begins with organ music (00:00-06:18). President Randall Lolley welcomes all the guests to the Spring Lectures, he delivers the Scripture reading from Isaiah 45:5-8, and he gives a word of prayer (06:19-08:54). Brevard S. Childs is introduced as the Spring Lecturer (08:55-11:29). The title of Childs’ lecture is "Reading the Old Testament As Religious Literature.” He begins his lecture by addressing the influence of the traditional Protestant and historical-critical approaches in field of biblical studies, and he recognizes the shifting landscape of the field of biblical studies (11:30-21:49). Childs main message is about the evolution of the biblical text as a method of interpretation, and he examines three stories from the Hebrew Scriptures to show that the biblical text should be interpreted canonically in opposition to pagan religious practices (21:50-56:50). Lolley concludes the lecture with a word of prayer (56:51-57:27). The service ends with organ music (57:28-58:53).

- Description:
- Audio quality becomes poor near the end of the recording. Dr. Brevard S. Childs was a leading Old Testament scholar during the 20th century and Professor of Old Testament at Yale Divinity School. The service begins with organ music (00:00-05:05). The speaker gives a word of prayer (05:06-05:45). Brevard S. Childs is introduced as the Spring Lecturer (05:46-09:00). The title of Child’s lecture is the question "Is Biblical Theology Still Possible?" First, Childs addresses the side-lining of biblical theology for historical, philosophical, and dogmatic concerns and evaluation of the Scriptures (09:01-33:54). Second, Childs addresses two new approaches in using the Bible theologically, a sociological model and a philosophical model, and he argues that all these models fail because the Bible shapes the church, not the other way around (33:55-44:44). Finally, Childs admits that Biblical theology is not possible at the present time, but he has hope for the future that Biblical theology can once again be profitable through grassroots faithfulness of the church (44:45-54:55). The speaker gives a benediction at the end of the lecture (54:56-55:35). The service ends with organ music (55:36-59:54).

- Description:
- Chevis F. Horne was Visiting Professor of Preaching. Dr. Horne is announced as Chapel speaker (0:00-0:16). A hymn is played (0:17-2:41). The choir sings an anthem (2:42-3:32). A word of prayer is followed by another hymn (cut) (3:33-5:35). The Scripture reading is Matthew 25:31-46 (5:36-8:18). The choir sings a song of worship (8:19-11:06). Dr. Horne focuses on the Scripture reading in his message, titled “Surprised by Judgment,” with an emphasis on Jesus as a servant and as a King (11:07-14:15). He finds it surprising how Jesus identified Himself as a servant on earth despite His place on the right hand of God, a place of honor and power (14:16-15:16). He is further surprised at how many poor people there are in the world whose presence he cannot escape now or at the time of Judgment (15:17-18:17). Dr. Horne talks of his surprise of the social questions that will be asked on the day of Judgment (18:18-20:30). He then discusses that believers are truly saved by grace and display graciousness in their lives (20:31-21:43). He also is surprised by Jesus identifying Himself with the poor: their pain is His pain (21:44-26:24). Dr. Horne hopes that those who are going to be pastors would “love, care for, minister for, and identify with their people” (26:25-27:05). He closes with a word of prayer (27:08-27:47). A hymn ends the service (27:48-30:10).

- Description:
- James H. Blackmore was Emeritus Professor of A. Div. Studies and Visiting Professor of Biblical Studies. Blackmore is announced as Chapel speaker (0:00-0:20). A hymn is played (0:20-4:50). A brief explanation of the use of a shofar (ram's horn) in scripture is provided, followed with one being blown for the congregation (4:51-8:50). A prayer is given, and a hymn is sung (cut) (8:51-9:48). The scripture reading is from Luke 22:24-34(9:49-11:21). Another prayer is spoken (11:22-13:23). The subject of the message regards believers facing temptations (13:24-18:45). Blackmore mentions a book based on the temptations of a preacher, from which he plans to discuss four temptations (18:46-19:14). The first temptation involves believers equating their thoughts of God with God Himself; however, words are limited and inadequate in comparison to God’s greatness (19:15-21:39). Though our minds are incapable of fully comprehending God, He calls us to a greater understanding (21:40-23:31). Blackmore speaks of the second centuries-old temptation which is to be jealous of one another (23:32-25:04). We should not be jealous because God has given everyone a gift to use for His glory (25:05-25:54). The third temptation concerns ministers neglecting their families as they become more prominent in their work (25:55-29:46). Working for a wage is the last temptation, and Blackmore reveals that God provides Himself as the greatest reward for those who work for Him (29:47-31:50). Blackmore ends his message with a request that the Holy Spirit be with them all, followed by a song of worship (31:51-33:40). The service concludes with another hymn (33:41-36:20).

- Description:
- Lewis A. Drummond was the fourth president of SEBTS. Billy Graham is introduced as the guest speaker for Drummond’s inauguration (0:00-0:15). A hymn is played (0:16-7:36). A word of prayer is followed by another hymn (cut) (7:37-8:47). The audience is greeted, and Southern Baptist Theological Seminary President Roy L. Honeycutt is presented (8:48-10:08). Honeycutt represents all the seminaries and theological schools in the U.S. and Canada and shows his support for Drummond’s inauguration (10:09-17:00). The Scripture reading for the day is from Psalm 84 and Acts 20 (17:01-20:53). Billy Graham is introduced (20:54-25:19). The choir sings an anthem (25:20-30:30). Dr. Graham greets everyone and reads Proverbs 29:18 and Acts 16:9 (30:31-37:21). He speaks of the calls to hear, help, and heed with a focus on evangelism and social service as well as proclaims his support of Drummond as SEBTS new president (37:22-1:04:58). A soloist sings (1:04:59-1:08:32). Chairman of the Board of Trustees Robert Crowley announces Drummond as the right leader for the Seminary and asks him to come forward to sign his name on the articles of faith (1:08:33-1:18:00). Drummond speaks of how proud he is to be the new president and promises to help students fulfill the Great Commission (1:18:01-1:28:12). Drummond and his wife kneel, and Dr. Graham gives a prayer of dedication (1:28:13-1:32:17). The soloist sings another song (1:32:18-1:34:30). A word of prayer is followed by a hymn (1:34:31-1:41:56).

- Description:
- Fisher Humphries was Professor of Theology at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. Humphries is announced as Chapel speaker (0:00-0:28). Two hymns are played (0:29-4:37). A word of prayer is given, followed by another hymn (cut) (4:38-6:44). Humphries is introduced (6:45-9:43). Humphries thanks the Seminary for allowing him to speak (9:44-13:27). Based on 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24, Humphries’ message concerns sanctification and spiritual formation (13:28-15:51). He provides four examples of believers’ self transcending impulse towards God: freedom, the need to understand, a desire for happiness, and the impulse to love and be loved (15:52-17:44). All these impulses are fulfilled in God, as spiritual formation (17:45-18:33). Humphries states that the best analogy of spiritual formation is one’s influence over another without manipulation (18:34-20:53). He plans to speak on two means of spiritual formation, the church and the Bible; the lecture on the church is for this day’s message while the one on the Bible is for the following day’s message (20:54-23:25). The church is both an institution and a fellowship, but God is more concerned with the people not an organization (23:26-24:53). Humphries explains that the church as an organization consists of people who contribute to spiritual formation and asks whether this is true of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) where opposition exists (24:54-27:23). He discusses Liberal Protestantism, Fundamentalism as a response to the former movement, and finally Evangelicalism which resulted due to the problems of Fundamentalism (27:24-32:42). However, disagreements in the Evangelicalism movement have occurred because it did not plant strong roots (34:43-38:31). Humphries compares the SBC, with its unstable foundation, to this movement; it also needs to strengthen its roots (34:38-38:31). He does say that God has and is using the SBC for spiritual formation despite its flaws, as the church has never been perfect and the church’s mission continues to be performed (38:32-40:19). He reinforces that the church is the people of God and a place of spiritual formation (40:20-42:47). He concludes with a recitation of the scripture reading from 1 Thessalonians (42:48-43:51). A word of prayer is given, and a hymn ends the service (43:16-46:13).
