- Description:

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).

Dr. Philbeck discusses the change that takes place for students when they begin seminary, but he encourages students in finding direction when things change (5:55-11:43). He uses the example of the Israelites and their exile to Babylon to illustrate similar responses believers might ask today during change and how God responds that there is a purpose to their current circumstances (11:43-17:01). He uses Isaiah 42 to show how the Lord responds that He placed His people where they are for specific ministry, for God’s power and care to be known, and so believers today are to live with the same understanding (17:01-25:38). Dr. Philbeck closes chapel in prayer (25:38-26:04).
