Description

• Clyde E. Fant, Jr. was pastor of the First Baptist Church of Richardson, TX. The service begins with organ music (0:00:00-0:03:43). President Randall Lolley gives a word of prayer (0:03:44-0:06:23). Lolley gives a word of remembrance for Theodore F. Adams, and Clyde E. Fant, Jr, is introduced as the Adams Lecturer (0:06:24-0:13:48). The choir sings a song of worship (0:13:49-0:19:11). Fant begins his lecture by giving two stories about preaching, and he gives two lessons: we are products of forces we often do not recognize, and to learn what something ought to be, we first need to learn what it ought not to be (0:19:12-0:27:03). Fant traces the history of preaching starting with John the Baptist and ending with Origen, John Chrysostom, and Augustine, and he believes these preaching never lost sight of the importance of God’s voice even though the culture had a heavy influence on their preaching (0:27:04-0:49:05). Fant criticizes the scholastic preachers such as Bernard of Clairvaux and Francis of Assisi who were bogged down by allegorical interpretation and philosophical preaching, and he believes Southern Baptists are falling into the problems of worldly and legalistic preaching that is similar to dry scholasticism (0:49:06-1:01:41). Lolley ends the service with a Scripture reading from Job and a word of prayer (1:01:42-1:02:37).
