    ‘SOLVED BY SACRIFICE’ : AUSTIN FARRER, FIDEISM, AND THE EVIDENCE OF FAITH Robert Carroll MacSwain A Thesis Submitted for the Degree of PhD at the University of St. Andrews 2010 Full metadata for this item is available in the St Andrews Digital Research Repository at: https://research-repository.st-andrews.ac.uk/ Please use this identifier to cite or link to this item: http://hdl.handle.net/10023/920 This item is protected by original copyright ‘SOLVED BY SACRIFICE’: Austin Farrer, Fideism, and the Evidence of Faith Robert Carroll MacSwain A thesis submitted to the School of Divinity of the University of St Andrews in candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The saints confute the logicians, but they do not confute them by logic but by sanctity. They do not prove the real connection between the religious symbols and the everyday realities by logical demonstration, but by life. Solvitur ambulando, said someone about Zeno’s paradox, which proves the impossibility of physical motion. It is solved by walking. Solvitur immolando, says the saint, about the paradox of the logicians. It is solved by sacrifice. —Austin Farrer v ABSTRACT 1. A perennial (if controversial) concern in both theology and philosophy of religion is whether religious belief is ‘reasonable’. Austin Farrer (1904-1968) is widely thought to affirm a positive answer to this concern. Chapter One surveys three interpretations of Farrer on ‘the believer’s reasons’ and thus sets the stage for our investigation into the development of his religious epistemology. 2. The disputed question of whether Farrer became ‘a sort of fideist’ is complicated by the many definitions of fideism.

  • Our “Presbyterian Virtues” by Dean K. Thompson President and Professor of Ministry Emeritus Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary
    Our “Presbyterian Virtues” by Dean K. Thompson President and Professor of Ministry Emeritus Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary My purpose is to share with you—reverently and expectantly—insights gleaned over a period of fifty years regarding several interrelated marks and gifts found in our Presbyterian/Reformed heritage, discipleship, teachings, and DNA. I have discovered that as Presbyterians think and talk about “God, Persons, Church, and World,” we do so through several signposts of strength and vision that help define our callings and identities as a people. I like to refer to these strengths and hallmarks as our “Presbyterian virtues.” I suggest this framework due to an article I stumbled on by Daniel Jenkins, a British theologian who used to teach at Princeton Theological Seminary. His article is titled “Marianne Moore: A Presbyterian Poet?”1 Moore’s brother was a Presbyterian minister, and she was for years a faithful member of the Lafayette Avenue Presbyterian Church in Brooklyn. Jenkins suggests that Moore’s remarkable poetry exemplifies the following Presbyterian virtues: the life of the mind; enjoyment of the natural creation; humility and self-criticism arising out of the awareness of justification by faith alone; love of the simple life contrasted with a life colored by pomposity, egocentrism, ostentation, and “highbrowism;” a deep sense of awe before God and the mysteries of the faith; and a strong awareness of our public responsibility.2 Across the years, I have been fond of saying that at our best we “Presbyterians are thinking people with warm hearts”—as this wonderful poem by Marianne Moore illustrates: Fragments of sin are a part of me, New brooms shall sweep clean the heart of me.

  • Christian Ethics
    5 Book One Living Under God’s Law: Christian Ethics 6 Part One: Introductory Considerations 7 Chapter 1: Introduction The Christian life is a rich journey, and it is not easy to describe. Without any pretense of comprehensiveness, I try to describe it in this volume as living under God’s law, in God’s world, in the presence of God himself. Those of you who have read other books of mine will recognize that triad as indicating normative, situational, and existential perspectives respectively. Those of you who haven’t read other books of mine can learn about that triad in the present volume. These three perspectives will provide the main structure of the book. The first part will be the longest—a treatise on Christian ethics. The second will deal with “Living in the World: Christ and Culture,” and the third will be “Living by God’s Grace: Spiritual Maturity.” We begin now with Part One, the treatise on ethics. After some introductory material defining terms and relating ethics to God’s lordship, I shall discuss ethics itself under three perspectives: situational (the history of ethical thought), existential (a Christian ethical method), and normative (Biblical ethical principles, following the pattern of the Ten Commandments). But first a couple of important introductory questions: Why Study Ethics? For the following reasons, at least: 1. Servants of Jesus are people who have his commandments and keep them (John 14:21). Over and over again, Jesus tells us, “If you love me, you will keep my commandments “(John 14:15; compare verses 21, 23, 15:10, 1 John 2:3-5, 3:21- 24, 5:3).1 Jesus’ “new commandment… that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another” (John 13:34) is to be the mark of the church, distinguishing it from the world: “By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another” (verse 35).

His distinctive approach emphasized consistency between methodology and theology in order to defend the Christian faith. Though often neglected, his doctrine of God provided the foundation for his methodology. The nature of who God is informs how we know him and how we interpret his word. The three most prominent contours of his doctrine were: the Creator-creature distinction, incomprehensibility, and the ontological Trinity. The value of these particular emphases is that they are key touchpoints for diagnosing apologetic methods and affirming the Christian system of truth. The nature of his assessment of methodology at the worldview level along these contours has wide-ranging implications for other disciplines, including hermeneutics.
