Described as 'the one genius that the Church of England produced in the last century and 'author of incomparably the most interesting theological books ever to come out of Oxford', his great legacy is that his considerable learning expressed itself as practical spiritual direction. He believed that after all the argument, analysis, and sifting of evidence, the purpose of theology was to show how to live and how to love. He died in 1968 and his many books are now out of print. Here is a thematically arranged anthology of his most influential writings with an extended introduction that assesses his contribution to Anglican life and through today.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Austin Farrer</note> <subject> <topic>Philosophical theology</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">230.3092</classification> <classification authority="ddc">A935-F24</classification> <identifier type="isbn">9781853117121 1853117121</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/8/18/_30029291_140.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/8/18/_30029291_140.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordContentSource authority="marcorg">1</recordContentSource> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2022-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119070727.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
