Austin Farrer Summary
Austin Farrer Reviews
'Austin Farrer's many-sided gifts may be said to have been distilled in his preaching... Here are the learning, the imagination, the whimsical humour, the originality, the eloquence, blended in a profound spirituality, which made him so exceptional a character.' The Times Literary Supplement 'He was a master of the arresting, imaginative start, he had a winning sense of humour and a delicious taste for paradox. In his sculptured use of language he showed rare craftsmanship, economy, precision and humanity.' The Times Educational Supplement 'Throughout the sermons we meet brilliant and unexpected illumination of scriptural themes.. They help us to reflect on ourselves and to pray.' Theology 'It is the combination of intellectual integrity, poetic sharpness, and intense, lively, God-centred spirituality that makes these homilies so memorable, so scintillating and so searching.' New Fire 'Every one is a work of art.' Journal of Theological Studies
