Description

Richard Hooker (1554-1600) is the premier theologian of the Anglican religious tradition. Portions of his great apologia for Anglicanism, Of the Laws of Ecclesiastical Policy, are still required reading in most Anglican seminaries and his ideas have been seminal for most other theologians in this denomination because the early seventeenth century. Unfortunately, Hooker’s defining ideas about the Church, the sacraments, Holy Scripture, the incarnation, prayer, worship, the Trinity, church polity, and virtually each aspect of Anglican faith and worship are no longer accessible to most Christians. His writing style is too cumbersome for most Up to date readers to untangle. That is especially so of a very powerful of all of his religious writings: ‘Book Five’ of the Polity.
To treatment this problem and make Hooker’s timeless wisdom once again to be had to Christians inside the Anglican circle of relatives and without, Dr. Secor has rendered Hooker’s difficult prose in ‘Book Five’ into recent English, continuing the process of ‘translation’ begun in his acclaimed, The Sermons of Richard Hooker: A Up to date Edition.
Keble’s nineteenth-century editions of Hooker’s Works or the up to date critical Folger Library Edition with its adherence to original spelling.
