The tittle and theme of Conley’s lecture is “Assumptions of the Preaching Ministry.” He says his first assumption is that there is one body of Christ, and he focuses on the one baptism and how this principle effects a church’s membership policy (16:29-25:28). Conley’s second assumption looks at Christian education, and he says that effective preaching should have an element of teaching to equip the saints (25:29-33:33). Conley’s third assumption looks at worship, and he urges Baptists to return to the great liturgical tradition of the church (33:34-42:21). Conley’s fourth assumption is none of the above assumptions, and he focuses on the laity that need the hope that comes through the preaching (42:22-52:55). President Lolley ends the service with a word of prayer (52:56-53:44).

2810. SEBTS Adams Lecture - Hugh Anderson February 13, 1986

Description:
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). Hugh Anderson is thanked for speaking as the Adams Lecturer (0:46-2:58). Anderson shares his gratefulness for the tribute he has been given (2:59-5:05). Anderson shares about the four gospels in the New Testament (5:06-7:13). 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). He says that “imagination is the indispensable companion of authentic Christian hope” (51:01-54:46). There is an announcement for a picture taking session (54:47-55:14). The service closes in a blessing (55:15-55:34).
