This book offers a critical edition of arguably the greatest work
of English theology in the 20th century: Austin Farrer's Bampton
Lectures published as The Glass of Vision in 1948. Farrer was an
interdisciplinary genius who made original contributions to
philosophy, theology, and biblical studies, as well as to our
understanding of the role of imagination in human thought and
Christian doctrine. According to Farrer, the three primary themes
of these lectures are 'scripture, metaphysics, and poetry,'
individually and in relation to each other. The lectures defend his
famous theory of divine revelation through images rather than
propositions or events, a provocative account of the place of
metaphysical reasoning in theology, and a literary approach to the
Biblical text that was decades ahead of its time and is still
controversial. The Glass of Vision has generated a rich and
interesting interdisciplinary conversation that has lasted for
decades, starting with commentators such as Helen Gardner and Frank
Kermode. In addition to Farrer's full text, this critical edition
also contains an introduction to the significance and context of
Farrer's thought, and a selection of thirty-years' worth of
commentary by leading British and European theologians and literary
scholars: David Brown, Ingolf Dalferth, Hans Haugh, Douglas Hedley,
David Jasper, and Gerard Loughlin. Of interest to literary and
biblical scholars, theologians, and philosophers, this book holds
particular value for those exploring the nature of imagination in
contemporary thought and scholarship.
