| Summary: | Austin Farrer was a notable preacher and theologian in Oxford in the mid-twentieth century. In his preaching he embodied the reality of a relationship with God, and as a thinker he took seriously and interacted with but worked in contrast with the theology of the 1960s. As a preacher he expounded the Scriptures in a distinctive lively fashion, which often drew people in, one way or another, by the distinctiveness of its introductions, though his preaching did not seem to reflect the principles of homiletics that were widely taught in his day. The fact that he died rather young (he was 64) adds significance to the prominence of death as well as life in his preaching. |
