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.

  • 1 Austin Farrer and C.S. Lewis Judith Wolfe C.S. Lewis Returned to Christianity in 1931, the Same Year That Farrer Returned to O
    Austin Farrer and C.S. Lewis Judith Wolfe C.S. Lewis returned to Christianity in 1931, the same year that Farrer returned to Oxford from his curacy in West Yorkshire to become chaplain and tutor at St Edmund Hall. We do not know when they met; the first record of joint endeavours comes from Trinity Term 1942, when Austin Farrer (by then chaplain and tutor at Trinity College) gave his first talk at the Socratic Club, over which Lewis presided. The talk was entitled ‘Did Christ rise from the dead?’. A few months later, Lewis gave the first of several sermons on miracles in London, centring on the miracle of Christ’s resurrection. This eventually grew into his book Miracles.1 Lewis and Farrer became trusted colleagues. When Lewis was writing the radio talks that eventually became Mere Christianity, he circulated the manuscripts to representatives of the major branches of Christianity, and it is thought that Farrer was his Anglican censor libri.2 From 1942 until Lewis’s move to Cambridge, Farrer spoke at Lewis’s Socratic Club sixteen times – fewer only than Lewis himself.3 The Socratic Club remained their main meeting place for ten years. Lewis’s closest ‘circle’ was, of course, the Inklings; and it is perhaps of interest that Farrer, despite the poetic mind that John Hick so rightly praises in his foreword to A Reflective Faith, did not attend Inklings meetings. Farrer was, however, in Basil Mitchell’s later account, ‘the central figure’ of the Metaphysicals, which Rob MacSwain calls the philosophical counterpart to the more literary Inklings.

  • The Year 1940 (219)
    The Year 1940 (219) Summary: The first regular weekly Thursday meeting of the Inklings takes place on an April evening, perhaps on April 4, although they may have met occasionally on Thursdays prior to this date. On July 14 in a worship service, Jack got the idea for The Screwtape Letters. On October 18, The Problem of Pain was published. In November, Jack made his first confession to Father Walter Adams, the Society of St. John the Evangelist. Probably in this year, Jack took up duties with the Local Defense Volunteers. On November 14, Jack delivered his last paper to the Martlets on “The Kappa Element in Romance.” Because of the war, there is no walking tour for Jack and Warren. Three evacuee schoolgirls, Margaret Leyland, Mary, and Katherine, arrive at the Kilns from London in January and stay until July. They come from the Convent of the Sacred Heart in Hammersmith near London. A review of Lewis’s A Preface to Paradise Lost appears in English, 4. (?) In this year, Jack’s poem “Hermione in the House of Paulina” appears in Augury: An Oxford Miscellany of Verse and Prose.1 Lewis’ poem, “Essence,” addresses the nature of the individual.2 “Why I Am Not a Pacifist” is given to a pacifist society in Oxford in 1940 but not published before appearing in The Weight of Glory and Other Addresses. Warren Lewis’s diaries contain no information about 1940-1942, probably because of his service in the war. Out of the Silent Planet is reissued as “The First Cheap Edition.”3 At some point during this decade, Jack has been alleged to have written to Jesuit Father Guy Brinkworth, requesting prayers that God might give him light to understand whether or not to convert to Catholicism.4 January 1940 January 2 Tuesday.

  • Scientific Explanation and Theological Explanation in the Thought of Austin Farrer What I Want to Explore in This Paper, In
    Scientific Explanation and Theological Explanation in the thought of Austin Farrer Reverend Dr Brian Leslie Hebblethwaite What I want to explore in this paper, in the light of Austin Farrer’s work, is the relation between the world as known to the natural and human sciences and the God who made that world and acts within it by providence and grace. I begin by summarising Farrer’s understanding of the difference, and the relation, between the approaches of the natural (and human) sciences to the world and the approaches of religion and theology to the world. Farrer’s understanding of the Relation of the natural and human Sciences to the approaches of Religion and Theology Throughout his writing life, Farrer had a clear picture both of the difference and of the relation between these approaches. In a short piece in the journal Illuminatio for 1947, reprinted as the prologue to Interpretation and Belief, he observed that ‘science obtains precision by artificially limiting its subject matter’.1 He made the same point in The Glass of Vision, published the following year: the information yielded by instruments – physical or conceptual – is real, but selective, relative to the yardsticks we use.2 This point is stressed and developed in the two books with which I am especially concerned in this paper. In A Science of God? (its American edition was given the title God is not Dead), Farrer stresses again the selectivity of the sciences.3 They use a variety of sieves for selecting those aspects of reality to be studied (in physics, for example, the measurable action of forces on forces).

  • On Dispensing with Q?: Goodacre on the Relation of Luke to Matthew
    New Test. Stud. ,pp.–.Printed in the United Kingdom © Cambridge University Press DOI:10.1017/S0028688503000110 On Dispensing with Q?: Goodacre on the Relation of Luke to Matthew JOHN S. KLOPPENBORG Department for the Study of Religion, University of Toronto, Toronto M5S 2E8, Canada The case against Q depends logically on the plausibility of Luke’s direct use of Matthew. Goodacre’s carefully argued book contends (a) that none of the objections to the Mark-without-Q hypothesis is valid; (b) that given certain assumptions about Luke’s aesthetic preferences, it is plausible that he systemati- cally reordered the ‘Q’ material from Matthew; (c) that Luke’s rearrangement of Matthew shows as much intelligence and purposefulness as Matthew’s; and (d) that certain features of the ‘Q’ in Luke 3–7 betray the influence of Matthean redac- tion. Careful scrutiny of these arguments shows that (a) is only partially true; that Goodacre’s assumptions about Lukan aesthetics (b) are open to serious objection; and that while (c) is true, Goodacre’s argument in (d) ultimately cuts against his case against Q. The publication of Mark Goodacre’s The Case Against Q: Studies in Markan Priority and the Synoptic Problem1 marks an important advance in the articulation and defence of the view that Luke composed his gospel using Mark and Matthew as immediate sources. This theory, first proposed by James H. Ropes2 and Morton Enslin3 in the United States, and espoused by Austin Farrer,4 John Drury,5 and 1 M. S. Goodacre, The Case Against Q: Studies in Markan Priority and the Synoptic Problem (Harrisburg, PA: Trinity Press International, 2002).
