Author: Richard Hooker

Publisher: Davenant Press

ISBN: 9781949716917

Binding: paperback

Section: Christianity-General

Richard Hooker addresses such timeless questions as the role of Scripture in the life of the Church, the relationship of conscience to authority, the appropriate use of reason and tradition in theology, and the meaning of Protestantism’s protest against Rome. This new edition of Hooker’s Laws “translates” his labyrinthine Elizabethan prose into modern English for the first time, without sacrificing any of the theological depth or sparkling wit of the original.
