2817. 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).

Kamala shares how Hinduism and Christianity have similar ideas of how one relates to God, and she specifically focuses on the path to becoming one with God (0:30:54-1:05:43). The speaker thanks each of the guests for their lectures, and she invites everyone to the cafeteria for a time of Q&A (1:05:44-1:06:38). The first question is for Kamala, and it is about how a Hindu comes to an awareness of God (1:06:39-1:12:11). The second question is for both Neill and Kamala, and it is about the differences and similarities between Hinduism and Christianity (1:12:12-1:21:56). The third question is for both Neill and Kamala, and it is about the relationship between the incarnation and the Hindu Caste System (1:21:57-1:27:07). The fourth question is primarily for Kamala, but Neill gives his own comments, and it is about the conflict between individualism and oneness found in Christianity and Hinduism (1:27:08-1:32:24). The fifth question is for both Neill and Kamala, and it is about politics in both Christianity and Hinduism (1:32:25-1:39:52). The final question is for both Kamala and Neill, and it is about the exclusivity of Christianity and Jesus being the way to eternal life.
