- Description:
- Hugh Anderson was the Professor of New Testament at the University of Edinburgh. The service begins with a word of prayer (0:00-1:09). Hugh Anderson is introduced as the Adams Lecturer (1:10-3:27). Anderson introduces his presentation by explaining his intention to offer his observations on the book of Revelation and expresses his gratitude for being asked to speak (3:28-6:23). Anderson provides context for the various beliefs of Scriptural inerrancy and contextual situation, including the criticism of Charles Augustus Briggs and I. A. Dorner (6:24-12:00). He speaks on theologians and scholars who had strong opinions about the God-given authority and inspiration of Scripture and how a lack of critical Biblical judgement caused a failure of influence in America because ministers believed they could not afford such intellectual problems (12:01-15:45). Critical analysis of the Bible became something that was done in the pulpit and the pews rather than in scholarly institutions (15:46-16:55). Anderson speaks about the crisis historical criticism has created within the scholarly arena and lists reasons why he believes that is (16:56-26:58). Anderson desires to argue against the criticisms leveled against the historical approach to understanding Scripture because he believes historical context is helpful (26:59-28:44). Anderson turns to provide an overview of the Apocalypse in Revelation through the lens of the historical crisis, speaking on the fascination people have with the end of this life, the genre of the book of Revelation, the beliefs of what the images mean, and the impact the understanding of the book has on society (28:45-29:58). Anderson shares that the book of Revelation is either looked upon with affection or with hatred because of one’s interpretation of it (29:59-37:52). He speaks about the interpretation of the term “pharmakeia” to mean either “drugs” or “witchcraft” and the interpretation of “wine” to be a symbol of bloodshed (37:53-42:19). Anderson argues that Revelation should be understood through the letters written to the churches and the visions that follow and when it is set against its historic background (42:20-56:55). The service closes in a moment of prayer (56:56-58:02).

- Description:
- E. Glenn Hinson was a professor at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. The service begins with organ music (0:00-2:24). There is a word of prayer (2:25-4:22). E. Glenn Hinson is introduced as the chapel speaker (4:23-6:58). An anthem is sung by the choir (6:59-9:20). Hinson directs the attention of the congregation to II Corinthians 12:1-10 and reads his personal translation (9:21-12:08). Hinson recounts how he turns to hope found within Scripture to cope with difficult times and circumstances (12:09-14:28). He explains that sometimes people blame God for the trying times and circumstances one faces (14:29-16:00). Hinson speaks about how people flippantly attribute bad things to God’s will, and he believes that idea comes from John Calvin’s view that everything has been predestined by God (16:01-17:24). But he gives the idea that Paul does not think that way in this passage, rather attributing the bad things of life to the work of the devil (17:25- 20:30). Hinson explains how science and technology, human toil has been eased, which causes people to seek external solutions for every problem, which is a deception and dulls the effects of sin (20:31-26:37). He shares how he personally found God’s grace and love in his own trials to illustrate that people should seek that amid human weakness (26:38-32:24). He closes the service in a word of prayer (32:25-33:44).

Read speaks about the omnipresence of God and how that affects one’s preaching and understanding of Scripture (18:56-22:14). Read speaks about the origin of preaching and the practical application it should provide to the congregation that spurs on the spread of the gospel and builds them up in the faith (22:15-26:27). Read speaks about the importance of preaching directly from the word of God and ensuring it is understood by and applicable to the people in the congregation (26:28-40:37). Read speaks about the “devaluation of words” and the effect negative propaganda has had on how the congregation understands preaching (40:38-51:10). The service ends in a word of prayer (51:11-51:27).

- Description:
- Gregory T. Headen was the President of Shaw University Divinity School in Raleigh, NC. Headen is announced as the chapel speaker (0:00-0:10). An opening hymn is played (0:11-3:56). The congregation sings a song of worship (cut) (3:57-4:24). Headen is introduced (4:25-5:49). Habakkuk 2:1-4 is the day’s Scripture reading and a word of prayer is given (5:50-8:08). Another hymn is played (cut) (8:09-8:12). Headen praises Jesus and shows gratitude towards SEBTS (8:13-10:47). His sermon focuses on “the audacity of preaching” in the book of Habakkuk (10:48-12:48). He asks the question: why does God let His servants suffer (12:49-14:07)? In Habakkuk, Headen states that God’s answer is that He has a vision/purpose for His actions and that His followers are to write the vision plainly (14:08-19:14). Headen speaks of the vision God has revealed to him as one involving all people to be one in Christ (19:15-20:40). God can fulfill such visions, but we must be patient and not give up on these visions as they will only come to past in God’s time (20:41-23:06). Headen discusses two problems: 1) those who are too busy “being God” lose hope and faith and 2) the struggle of who receives the right vision (23:07-26:10). He concludes with urging the congregation to write the vision clearly and wait for it to happen when God commands it to happen (26:11-28:38). The sermon ends with Headen’s prayer and the benediction (28:39-29:36).
