Author Description

"British theologian and New Testament scholar Austin Farrer was truly one of the Renaissance men in the Anglican Church. A member of "Oxford Christians," Farrer conversed frequently about topics of religion and the intellectual life with C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, Dorothy Sayers, and T. S. Eliot. A. N. Wilson has called Farrer "the one true genius of the Church of England in the twentieth century," and he has said that Farrer is the author of "incomparably the most interesting books ever to come out of the Oxford Theology Faculty."" "The editors have put together a book that makes the practical, spiritual meaning of Farrer's thought available to those who desire to integrate serious thinking with faithful life."--BOOK JACKET.
