- W210749116 abstract "(ProQuest: ... denotes non-USASCII text omitted.) I. INTRODUCTION Widely recognized as - in the words of Rowan Williams - possibly the greatest Anglican mind of the twentieth century, Austin Marsden Farrer belongs to the long list of important Anglican divines who began their lives in another ecclesial tradition. This list includes John Donne (Roman Catholic), Joseph Butler (English Presbyterian), E D. Maurice (Unitarian), A. M. Ramsey (Congregationalist), John Macquarrie (Church of Scotland), Hans Frei (originally German Lutheran, then American Baptist), and Williams himself (Welsh Presbyterian). Achieving equal distinction as a philosopher, biblical scholar, theologian, and preacher, Farrer was a leading member of the Anglo-Catholic wing of the Church of England in the mid-twentieth century. He died as the seventh warden of Keble College, Oxford, on 29 December 1968 at the age of sixty-four.2 However, he was born on 1 October 1904 as the second child and only son of Augustine John Daniel Farrer (1872-1954), an English Baptist minister who variously taught church history, the history of religion, Hebrew, and New Testament at Regent's Park College (a distinguished Baptist institution), first in its original location in London and then later when it moved to Oxford. Augustine and Evangeline Farrer had three children, including the two girls Joyce (1903) and Eleanor (1907)/ They were a serious and devout Nonconformist family, and yet Augustine was neither an emotional evangelical nor a biblical fundamentalist. He moved in circles which had early come to terms with biblical criticism.4 Consequently, it was difficult for the Farrers to find a home in the rather more conservative Baptist community of London at that time. Young Austin's experience of several congregational schisms and awareness of his father's intellectual isolation from his co-religionists made him reluctant to be baptized into this tradition, and eventually led to his baptism in the Church of England instead. Augustine was educated at the non-sectarian City of London School and then, as a Nonconformist, at University College, London, and Regent's Park, finishing his theological studies in 1898. However, the Farrers ambitiously and deliberately sent their brilliant son to more elite institutions, which were, of course, given English society, historically Anglican foundations.' From 1917 to 1923 Austin was a day pupil at St. Paul's School in London, and in 1923 he went up to Balliol College, Oxford, as a classics scholar. In his first year at Oxford he found the pull of Anglicanism irresistible and was both baptized and confirmed in May 1924, at the age of nineteen. Although he and his parents had long anticipated a career in law (his middle name, Marsden, was after John Marsden, a Blackburn solicitor, family friend, and benefactor), this shift in religious allegiance gradually led to a sense of call to ordained ministry - but of course in the Church of England rather than in the Baptist tradition. Thus, after a further year of theological study at Balliol and formation at Cuddesdon Theological College (just outside Oxford), Austin went to the diocese of Wakefield in Yorkshire where he was ordained deacon in 1928 and priest in 1929.'1 The only biography of Farrer is A Hawk Among Sparroius by the late Philip Curtis. While it provides an invaluable portrait by one who knew him personally (Curtis was a student of Farrer's in the late 1930s) and contains much currently unattainable and irreplaceable information from other first-hand accounts, it also suffers from several serious deficits. Readers familiar with the biography may be especially puzzled by what Curtis describes as the crucial leading up to Farrer's baptism (January-May 1924) and the event of the baptism itself.8 As for the months leading up to the baptism, Curtis uncharacteristically relied entirely on letters from Farrer's parents to their son in order to reconstruct what Austin was dunking at Ulis time: he clearly did not have Austin's actual letters on this topic to hand. …" @default.
