Autorenporträt
Frederic William Farrar (1831–1903), known as F. W. Farrar, was a distinguished theologian, author, and cleric during the Victorian era. Born in Mumbai, then Bombay, India, he was sent to England for his education, showing early intellectual promise. Farrar attended King William's College on the Isle of Man and subsequently Trinity College, Cambridge, where he not only excelled in his studies but also won the Chancellor's Gold Medal for poetry. After his ordination in 1854, Farrar quickly became a significant figure in the Anglican Church, serving in various capacities including as the Dean of Canterbury from 1895 until his death. As an academic and churchman, Farrar was known for his eloquent sermons and lectures which drew large audiences. His scholarly pursuits led him to write extensively on religious texts and themes. Among his contributions, 'The Expositor's Bible: The First Book of Kings', stands out as an exemplary work that reflects his deep scholarship and narrative mastery in theological literature. He is also well-remembered for his writing style that combined rich language with moral earnestness, as evidenced in his other notable works like 'Life of Christ' (1874) and 'Eternal Hope' (1878). Farrar bridged the gap between academic theology and lay readership, making his works accessible and appealing to a broader audience. His legacy persists as an author who cultivated a deeper understanding of religious texts in the context of modern thought and history.
