- Description:
- Ben F. Philbeck was Professor of Hebrew and Old Testament. Chapel opens with the reading of a hymn and introduction of congregational song (0:00-1:19). Undecipherable music (1:19-5:55). 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).

- Description:
- Frank Stagg was Senior Professor of New Testament Studies at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. The service opens with a word of prayer (00:00-00:30). Frank Stagg is introduced as the Page Lecture speaker (00:31-02:15). Stagg’s lecture is entitled “Universals & Codes,” and he begins by defining these terms (02:15-05:41). Stagg gives many examples from both the Old and New Testaments where believers have both universalized certain laws of God and also minimized other laws and commands, and he also says that figuring out what God commands for his people to do in Scripture can be a difficult task with what appears to be contradictions, even from the words of the same human author (05:42-39:20). Stagg uses Paul’s letters as an example of how to do proper hermeneutics, and he argues that the readers of Scripture must discern a writer’s prophetic voice and distinguish between universal commands and particular commands given in a certain context (39:21-49:30). The service ends with a word of prayer (49:31-50:17).

- Description:
- David Allan Hubbard was the president of Fuller Theological Seminary in California. Dr. Hubbard is announced as Chapel speaker with a message entitled “Proverbs: Wisdom and Success” (0:00-0:14). A hymn is played (0:15-3:48). Dr. Lewis Drummond welcomes special guests (3:49-4:48). Dr. Drummond offers a word of prayer (4:49-5:44). He provides a brief background of Fuller Theological Seminary and introduces Dr. Hubbard (5:45-10:35). The choir sings a song of worship (10:36-12:41). Dr. Hubbard thanks the Seminary for allowing him to lecture (12:42-13:55). He speaks of oral narration of the Bible and that the key to understand the wisdom works of the Bible and how to apply them pastorally is to hear them aloud (13:56-15:16). Scripture can be misunderstood and thus teachers are needed (15:17-16:28). Dr. Hubbard reveals that he will be speaking on Proverbs, Job, Ecclesiastes, and the Song of Solomon with a focus on the techniques of communication (16:29-18:36). He begins this lecture with saying that Proverbs rises challenging questions and he breaks the book into sections: the collection of Solomon, the collection of 375 two-lined sayings, the words of the wise, more words of the wise, the proverbs of Solomon written by Hezekiah’s men, the words of Agur, the words of Lemuel, and the acrostic of the noble woman (18:37-21:29). Dr. Hubbard explains that there is more connectedness in Proverbs than we think and conveys that to understand Proverbs we must understand their original use (21:30-23:34). Proverbs were originally used within the clans of Israel and later refined for education and in courts as disciplinary guidelines for the elite youth (23:35-31:07). Dr. Hubbard speaks of the wisdom speeches in chapters 1-9 and their purpose of commending wisdom (personified as a woman) and commanding obedience (31:08-32:30). Next, he discusses the two-lined poetry sayings as well as some indicative, comparative, and numerical sayings (32:31-37:10). He refers to the artistic aspect of Proverbs with a discussion of the acrostic in which the writer began each first word of a verse with a Greek letter (37:11-39:30). He mentions that wisdom and folly are synonymous with righteousness and wickedness (39:31-40:50). Proverbs must be preached thematically, in a covenantal context to believers, and as preparation for calls to new discipleships (44:12-46:01). Dr. Hubbard indicates how wisdom literature has shaped our Trinitarian thought by referring to Proverbs 8 which provides a background for understanding the preexistence of Christ (46:02-48:05). He concludes by saying that Proverbs should be applied to others and personally and that we must understand what we read (48:06-49:51). He gives a word of prayer (49:52-50:09). Dr. Drummond thanks Hubbard and gives a prayer (50:10-51:00).
