Richard Hooker (1554-1600) is often credited with being the
founding father of Anglican moral theology. This book is the first
major study to examine in depth the extent to which this claim is
justified, and to evaluate the nature of Hooker's contribution to
this aspect of Anglican tradition. The study roots Hooker firmly
within his own historical context and considers his text
principally on its own terms; thus it avoids many of the problems
that have bedevilled modern Hooker scholarship, particularly where
attempts have been made to 'claim' him for one particular
theological tradition over another, or to approach his work
primarily with an eye to its continued relevance to contemporary
debate within Anglicanism, both of which can lead to significant
distortions in the way in which Hooker is read and interpreted.
What emerges amounts to a significant re-evaluation of much of the
conventional wisdom about Hooker's place within Anglicanism, as
well as a range of original insights into the nature, content, and
style of his work and its wider significance.
