Long out of print, John Jewel's classic defense of Reformation
principles is again available in this specially re-issued edition
with an introductory essay by John E. Booty. Written after
Elizabeth's accession to the throne upon the death of Mary Tudor,
Jewel's Apology was a major literary contribution toward England's
struggle with the papacy and influenced the development of
Anglicanism. John Booty's brilliant introduction places Jewel's
work in its historical context and highlights its documentary
importance in the English Reformation.

We turn to Richard Hooker to understand the intellectual background
of the Renaissance. He sets forth in his writing the ethical,
political, and religious assumptions of his age. This magnificent
old-spelling edition of Hooker's works has long been needed, and is
being greeted with universal admiration. Volume Four presents the
text of the first and only major attack on the Laws of
Ecclesiastical Polity-namely, A Christian Letter, 1599-with
Hooker's marginal notes made on his own copy of the Letter; and the
more extensive essays which he left in manuscript, written in
preparation for a published reply. The importance of these notes
and essays lies in their expansion of some of the more
controversial points made in the Laws, and in the light they shed
on Hooker, his personality, method, and sources. John Booty's
Introduction and substantial commentary place Hooker's arguments
firmly in their historical and theological contexts.
