 Frederic William Farrar and his novels for schoolboys Contemporary Review - Find Articles
Farrar was particularly interested in curricular concerns, holding that the prevailing approach to teaching Latin and Greek, mainly the stressing of grammar as well as the composition from English into the ancient languages, was counter-educational and, in addition, was failing to imbue in pupils any real appreciation of the culture of Greek and Roman civilization.
Unusual for a cleric Farrar consistently promoted the claims of science, strongly believing that an understanding of the laws and phenomena of nature is an essential attribute of any true education.
Farrar drew heavily from his experiences as a schoolboy at King William's College on the Isle of Man in writing Eric.

 Carnochan
This was Frederic William Farrar, Dean of Canterbury from 1895 until his death in 1903.
Farrar was born in Bombay in 1831, the son of a Chaplain of the Church Missionary Society.
Farrar's "Great Books" are handmaidens, in an increasingly secular age, of the greatest of books: "The best books of man will throw more and more widely open...the Books of God." Dante, Milton, Bunyan, and Thomas à Kempis are indubitably God's scribes; and Shakespeare, in Farrar's account, no less so.

 The Life of Christ - Foreword
Farrar at once endeared himself to the students and provided a powerful stimulus for them through his own literary and intellectual activities.
Other honors bestowed upon Dr. Farrar included an appointment as chaplain to Queen Victoria, delivering the Hulsean Lectures at Cambridge in 1870 on "The Witness of History to Christ," and giving the Bampton Lectures at Oxford on "The History of Interpretation," in 1886.
One biographer wrote of him that he "exerted a vast popular influence upon the religious feeling and culture of the middle classes for fully forty years by virtue of his boundless industry." In considering the value of Dean Farrar's writings, the words of John W. Foster need constantly to be borne in mind.

 The Life of Christ  FW Farrar  | Preterist  Bibliography
Dr. Farrar's work in the area of philology brought him to the attention of the Royal Society and, in 1866, the society conferred a fellowship upon him.
The value of Dr. Farrar's writings lay in his ability to combine "an honest and robust faith with wide and accurate scholarship." So much so that Charles Haddon Spurgeon, the out-spoken Baptist preacher, said that his study of the life of Christ was "THE work on the subject.
Frederic Farrar capitalized upon his success with The Life of Christ by producing an equally as acceptable Life of St. Paul (1879).

Dean Farrar’s publications were numerous and in varied fields.
Herein and in Mercy and Judgement (1881) he defended the doctrine that though there may be for some an endless hell because they resist the grace of God beyond the grave, there is no hell of material fire, and for the great majority, through God’s mercy and Christ’s sacrifice, a complete purification and salvation.

The ground taken by Mill in reference to literature and science is that occupied by the nine distinguished writers who, under the editorship of Frederic William Farrar, published in 1867, Essays on a liberal education.
He admits the claim of natural science to its place in modern education, favours the reform of methods of teaching Latin and Greek, and, in particular, would remove “verses” from among compulsory studies, a contention to which the editor, Farrar, devotes his own essay.
After the senior classic, the senior wrangler: James Maurice Wilson contributes a weighty and temperately written essay on behalf of science, which is the more convincing since it illustrates, with some detail, the serious work which boys may undertake, even when they give only two hours a week to it.

 Did Ellen White Plagiarize? Comparative Study 4
This is the fourth and final page comparing Chapter 75 of Desire of Ages by Ellen White, with F. Farrar and W.Hanna's writings on the same events.
It should also be noted that while Farrar and Ellen White depict three separate trials of Jesus BEFORE He was taken to Pilate's court,while W.Hanna depicts only two--one before the full council was assembled and one after.
What you will read on this page in his column is more of a summary as he combines the last two trials and does not treat this as a third trial.

And thus in this as in so many other instances, the very discrepancies which appear to be most irreconcilable, and most fatal to the historic accuracy of the four evangelists, turn out, on closer and more patient investigation, to be fresh proofs that they are not only entirely independent, but also entirely trustworthy.
Nay, even the Priests and Pharisees, and Scribes and Levites, devoured as they were by pride and formalism, could not condemn an act which might have been performed by a Nehemiah or a Judas Maccabaeus, and which agreed with all that was purest and best in their traditions.
