For this month’s classic lecture, we go way back to 1973 and Dallas Theological Seminary. Jay was the first non-premillennialist invited to present the annual Griffith Thomas Lecture Series. Competent to Counsel was turning the academic world upside down and the folks at Dallas wanted to hear what he had to say.
The lecture hall where they met was too small and many had to stand in the back and aisles, and the room quickly became quite warm. Even though he had to read from a prepared manuscript, as he explains as he begins, you will hear the passion in his voice for the cause of Biblical counseling. Still, there is a hilarious moment when he is forced to veer off-script. The lectures were later published in Bibliotheca Sacra, Dallas’ theological journal, as well as in book form.
