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).
