1571. SEBTS Special Lecture - Hendrikus Berkhof October 21, 1981

Description:
Hendrikus Berkhof was professor of Systematic Theology at the University of Leiden. The service begins with a prayer of invocation (00:00-01:22). Hendrikus Berkhof is introduced as the special lecturer (01:23-02:53). Berkhof begins his lecture by giving four problems of the Chalcedonian model of Jesus Christ having two natures in one person, and these four problems are first, the confusion of defining Christ’s personhood, second, the variety of biblical definition of Christ’s nature, third, constant cultural change in viewing human nature and Christ, and fourth, the educational confusion of defining Christ’s personhood (02:54-10:49). Berkhof examines the nature of Jesus in relation to God and to our human nature, and he concludes that Jesus was a human who participated in the divinity of the Father so that the rest of humanity can participate in that same divinity (10:50-30:20). Berkhof speaks briefly about two books written by Catholic theologians that caused a stir in the Vatican, and he says these books give a Christology of Jesus that speak of his death and resurrection as the revelation of God’s word to humanity (30:21-37:26). Berkhof concludes his lecture by speaking about the shift in Christology that is occurring in the late 20th century, and he clarifies his position on Christ over against a static Chalcedonian model (37:27-49:20). The service ends with a benediction (49:21-49:49).

Edge centers his focus on the doctrine of the priesthood of all believers, defines it as all Christians being ministers, and he explains how the Southern Baptists laity have wrongly given all their priestly responsibilities to their paid ministers (18:52-43:00). Edge concludes his sermon with a football illustration of a coach playing and the team standing on the side lines to show how Southern Baptist have been operating while still advocating for the doctrine of the priesthood of all believers (43:01-50:01). Edge ends the service with a word of prayer (50:02-51:10).

Ben Sigel was Professor of Music. The service begins with organ music (00:00-08:09). Ben Sigel Johnson is introduced as the faculty lecturer (08:10-11:14). Johnson begins his lecture by speaking about music expressing theology, and the title of his lecture is “The Theological Viewpoints of Four Master Composers” (11:15-14:30). Johnson’s first composer he presents is Johann Sebastian Bach, and he says the Bach’s Lutheran upbringing inspired music that expressed a human’s mystical union with Christ (14:31-18:16). Johnson’s second composer he presents is Ludwig van Beethoven, and he says that Beethoven had a profound faith that was revealed in his music though he was nominally Catholic (18:17-23:32). Johnson’s third composer he presents is Felix Mendelssohn, and he says that Mendelssohn’s music was influenced by the theology of Friedrich Schleiermacher but with a greater appreciation for the Old Testament (23:33-30:08). Johnson briefly compares the liturgical compositions of Franz Liszt and Anton Bruckner (30:09-33:32). The final composer Johnson presents is Johannes Brahms, and he says that Brahms’s music expresses the mercy of God (33:33-39:08). The choir sings an ensemble from Johannes Brahms (39:09-45:19).

A Student Council member focuses on the question: what is truth (7:41-9:37)? Though not an easy question to answer, we still seek black and white answers for it (9:38-10:40). The member discusses that truth cannot be stated; it is seen in everyday life (10:41-12:32). Despite truth revealing itself to each of us uniquely as we seek it in our own ways, God’s revelations cannot be placed in a box: they must be experienced (12:33-13:49). The member concludes her discourse with the fact that we will always find more questions as we continue to seek the truth, and these questions will help us to realize that God is bigger than we ever imagined (13:50-14:41). The Student Council recites Scripture that focuses on truth (14:42-16:31). Three words of prayer are given (16:32-21:06). Candles are lit, symbolizing truth and love (21:07-21:49).
