Prof. Diarmaid MacCulloch - Voices and Silence in Tanakh and Christian New Testament

The Gifford Lecture series 2012 - Silence in Christian History: the witness of Holmes' Dog
Professor Diarmaid MacCulloch presents his introductory lecture in our 2012 Gifford lecture series.
The lecture discussed a change in emphasis between the Hebrew Scripture (the Tanakh) and what Christians made of what is arguably a minority positive strand in Judaic thinking on silence; we survey the growth of a consciousness of silence, particularly in the cosmos, in Jewish religion. We seek the voice of Jesus to be heard behind the text of the New Testament, with his distinctive use of silence and silences; the place of silence in the first Christian attempts to understand the significance of Jesus Christ, and its relationship to the formation of the Church.
Recorded Monday 23 April 2012 at St Cecilia's Hall, Edinburgh.

There was no temple in Jerusalem in Eli's day, God was present in the tabernacle.

"Tanahn" must be changed to "Tanakh."
