Human Person in God's World Studies to Commemorate the Austin Farrer Centenary

Austin Farrers important contribution to philosophical and theological anthropology is discussed here by the six main contributors to the Austin Farrer Centenary Conference held at Oriel College, Oxford in 2004. After an Introductory survey by Basil Mitchell, Nancy Murphy provides an in-depth study of Farrers defence of the freedom of the will, Edward Henderson brings out the key notion of double agency in Farrers conception of the way God acts in and through the human person. Brian Hebblethwaite explores Farrers writings for the light they throw on creation and evolution, with special reference to the problems of providence and evil and David Brown extends Farrers insights on the role of images in biblical revelation to their role in natural religion.Hedley, Douglas is the author of 'Human Person in God's World Studies to Commemorate the Austin Farrer Centenary', published 2007 under ISBN 9780334041061 and ISBN 0334041066.
