A Case for God by Farrer Examines Modest Theological Reach
This reviewer appraises a Bishop of London's Lent book by Farrer, noting its modest yet adventurous theology that keeps science at bay while claiming a domain beyond science for theological discourse. It praises clear argumentation on contingency and a purposive Creator, yet warns most readers will not be swayed and urges believers and skeptics alike to weigh the points made.
