	Synoptic Gospels Primer - Glossary: Austin Farrer
		The son of a Baptist minister, Farrer was ordained an Anglican priest at Oxford where he served as chaplain and fellow of several colleges.
		In an era when systematic theology had largely become divorced from biblical analysis, Farrer challenged form and source criticism's fragmentation of the gospels by proposing that the evangelists be treated as authors rather than editors.
		Farrer identified Deuteronomy as the inspiration of Luke's design for his teaching section and argued that the composition of the latter was less problematic than others had claimed.

	NT Gateway Weblog: Mark Goodacre's Academic New Testament Blog
		Farrer, who died in 1968, was a fine philosopher and religious thinker, in the words of Rowan Williams "possibly the greatest Anglican mind of the twentieth century".
		One other legacy from Farrer's Biblical criticism has stayed with me from the first moment I encountered it in a library in Oxford some years ago, and it is his wonderful and disparaging use of the term "paragraph criticism" as a means of describing the work of the form-critics.
		Farrer was really well ahead of his years here, not only in showing some scepsis for the obsession with pericopae that characterised the work of the form-critics, but in anticipating not only redaction-criticism but also narrative-criticism, as Jeff Peterson recently argued.

	Theology Today - Vol 17, No. 2 - July 1960 - BOOK REVIEW - The Freedom Of the Will
		Readers of Dr. Farrer's previous works will not expect any new book by him to be easy reading; they will, however, confidently expect such a book amply to reward their efforts in studying it.
		Farrer enters his subject through one of the traditional gateways, the problem of the relation between mind and body.
		Farrer's arguments are too complex and subtle to be easily summarized, for they follow all the twists and turns of a sophisticated dialogue between a determinist and a libertarian.

	Rue Morgue Press - Katharine Farrer
		Both K (as her friends called her) and Austin were devastated by the need for Caroline to leave home but that pain was moderated by the girl’s progress at school.
		The answer to that question lies in one of Austin Farrer’s writings when he comments that when Jesus was confronted by a bent nail in his days as a carpenter, he didn’t resort to invoking the spirit of the Holy Ghost to straighten it.
		The best of Katharine and Austin’s life together is to be found in her books, especially in her often sparkling and witty dialog, no doubt inspired by the conversations at hundreds of Oxford dinners where the couple entertained the best and the brightest of their generation.

	NT Gateway Weblog: Mark Goodacre's Academic New Testament Blog
		This piece, by Jeff Peterson of Austin Graduate School, was given as a paper at the SBL Annual Meeting of 2000 in Nashville, as part of a session on the Farrer Theory of Synoptic origins, at which Mark Matson and I also spoke.
		Farrer’s was of three aspects, the mind, the imagination and the spirit fused together in such a way that each reached its perfection in relation to the other two.
		I found out recently too that there does exist a recording of Austin Farrer's last sermon, preached on the Sunday before he died, on "The Ultimate Hope", and it is available for sale on a CD from St Mary's Church at Temple Balsall.

	Austin Farrer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Austin Farrer (1904–1968) was an English theologian and philosopher.
		Farrer was born the only son of the three children of Augustus and Evangeline Farrer in Hampstead, London, England.
		Mark and The Book of Revelation, were out of the mainstream of biblical scholarship and his article 'On dispensing with Q' (one of the supposed lost sources of the Gospels) raised a furore on both sides of the Atlantic.

	A PIONEER NARRATIVE CRITIC AND HIS SYNOPTIC HYPOTHESIS: Austin Farrer and Gospel Interpretation
		Farrer did not advocate a complete repeal of the nineteenth century, as William R. Farmer and others have done by their revival of the Griesbach hypothesis, the dominant theory of Synoptic relationships from ca.
		For Farrer, however, as for a number of recent redaction and narrative critics, it is the necklace as a whole that adorns one's Beloved and therefore invites the attention of the interpreter.
		Farrer's response to Schmidt: “[T]he more we examine St Mark, the more his sentences are seen to flow away into the continuous process of his thought, and to bear the stamp of having been composed for the place in which they stand.

		I sat in on Farrer's tutorials on Aquinas one year at Oxford; Farrer is about as much a process theologian as was St. Athanasius.
		More subjectivist than Farrer would allow-as when Forsman analyzes the act of loving in predominantly egocentric terms-this essay is a faithful explanation of what Farrer meant by the statement that God acts within us when we act.
		In his essay, Allen suggests why Burrell's essay is important for cluing in to Farrer's metaphysics, and he corrects Hebblethwaite's understanding of Farrer's views on the role of the religious believer's reasons for believing something about God and the project of defending Christian theism.

	[No title]
		Farrer's second objection to the "theology of the word," the more personal one that he has never succeeded in hearing it, is probably due in part to this misunderstanding; that is, he may well have been listening for the wrong thing.
		Consequently, for the sake of consistency, Farrer attempts to take the other horn of the dilemma, to maintain that the content of revelation is contained in the images alone and may not be translated into words: "Images.
		In this respect it contrasts sharply with that of Austin Farrer, who is quite willing to abandon theoretical consistency in search of some criterion by which the images could be tested, illustrating thereby the undoubted British genius for arriving at a sensible position by a reasoning which appeared to lead in the opposite direction.

	Farrer hypothesis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is named for Austin Farrer, who wrote On Dispensing With Q in 1955, but it has been picked up by other scholars including Michael Goulder and Mark Goodacre.
		The Farrer theory has the advantage of simplicity, as there is no need for hypothetical sources to be created by academics.
		Instead, advocates of the Farrer theory argue, the Gospel of Mark was used as source material by the author of Matthew.

	Theology and Doctrine Collection (16 volumes)
		The sixteen volumes discuss the psychology and theology of forgiveness, the ascension of Jesus, the role of justification in Christian faith, the nature, origins and development of the doctrine of the Holy Spirit; the problem of suffering, the theme of resurrection in literature, art and sacred texts; the origins of Christology, and much more.
		The British theologian and New Testament scholar Austin Farrer was a member of “the Oxford Christians,” conversing frequently with C. Lewis, J. Tolkien, Dorothy Sayers, and T. Eliot.
		Wilson has called Farrer “the one true genius of the Church of England in the 20th century.” Farrer’s theory about the Synoptic Problem remains one of the most debated theories of Synoptic relationships in contemporary New Testament scholarship.

	A Monopoly on Marcan Priority
		Austin Farrer, “On Dispensing with Q”, D. Nineham (ed.), Studies in the Gospels: Essays in Memory of R. Lightfoot (Oxford: Blackwell, 1955), pp.
		Defenders of the Farrer theory, most notably Michael Goulder, John Drury and Eric Franklin, tend to take Marcan Priority for granted in their Q scepticism.
		Farrer's observation that “our conception of the way in which the Gospels were composed has gradually altered”, and the consequences for the Q hypothesis, is all the more true in the year 2000 than it was in 1955.

	Middlebrow » Farrer: How It Is Done
		Austin Farrer (1904-1968) wrote a little book called Saving Belief: A Discussion of Essentials, which sparkles with his characteristic good sense and good phrasing.
		Here is an excerpt appropriate to the day, along with my usual warning to eat the meat and spit out the bones.
		In the chapter on “Sin and Redemption,” Farrer describes redemption as God winning the battle between us and himself, without destroying us.

	The Partial Observer - Austin Farrer
		He was not an anonymous Anglican priest, perhaps vicar of a village parish somewhere in rural England; his name was Austin Farrer, Warden of Keble College at Oxford University, in Connecticut to deliver the Taylor Lectures at Yale and to serve as a resident scholar at Wesleyan University in Middletown.
		Farrer was wearing that day was almost certainly the one bequeathed to her by Joy Davidman, Lewis's wife, the heroine of Shadowlands.
		I never was formally introduced to Farrer, but I have encountered him constantly in his books.When I returned to North Park Theological Seminary the next fall to complete my studies, I wrote my thesis on The Theology of Austin Farrer.

		On the other hand, the man whom he served as confessor and to whom he was a good friend, C. Lewis, is widely known and read by both clergy and lay people in all denominations.
		In an attempt to encourage us to benefit from Farrer's contributions (his sermons are short but astonishingly profound essays on the practical meaning of Christian doctrines, practices, and the scriptures) and to carry them with us into the twenty-first century, two conferences are being held to mark the centenary of his birth.

	The Existence of Q
		Q is the term given to the second source supposedly used by Matthew and Luke in addition to Mark.
		Although the Farrer hypothesis does have a number of points to commend it, on balance I concur with the majority of scholarship that it is more likely that Matthew and Luke used Mark and Q independently.
		It is not that he objects either, to Mark as such, for on Dr. Farrer's thesis, Luke does not know (as we have noted) that the B material is not basically Mark, but slightly emended; and he includes this, quite happily.

		It is between those who hold to the neo-Griesbach position and those who maintain a version of the legacy of Austin Farrer on the source question.
		While it is not absolute, the center of gravity of the neo-Griesbach view is in North America, while the Austin Farrer position is strongest in the United Kingdom.
		In recent years Michael Goulder, albeit with his over inimitable perspectives and accents has emerged as the most vocal partisan on behalf of the Austin Farrer legacy.

		This view is known as the "Two Source" hypothesis.
		Another theory which addresses the synoptic problem is the Farrer theory.
		This theory maintains Markan Priority (that Mark was written first) and dispenses with the need for a theoretical document Q. What Austin Farrer has argued is that Luke used Matthew as a source as well as Mark, explaining the similarities between them without having to refer to a hypothetical document.
