Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Austin Farrer (1904-1968), Warden of Keble College, Oxford, was aremarkably creative and significant figure in twentieth-centurytheology. Robert MacSwain argues that one explanation for Farrersrelative obscurity is that most commentators have focused on hismetaphysics, and in particular on Finite and Infinite (1943), hismonumental treatise of rational theology. By contrast, MacSwainproposes an epistemological analysis that takes seriously the neglectedbut crucial theme of fideism in Farrers thought. MacSwain charts thedevelopment of Farrers thinking on the proper relation between faithand reason from 1924 to 1968including his engagements with Karl Barth,logical positivism, Thomism, and Wittgensteinian philosophyand offers areading of Farrer that resonates with contemporary religiousepistemology and the growing focus on spiritual praxis. The finalchapter considers Farrers provocative claim that the logical paradoxesof religious belief are solved by sacrifice in the lives of those whomwe recognise as saints: as Farrer puts it, Such a life, then, isevidence, and what other evidence could you hope to find?
