Synopsis

This is the first modern edition of Richard Hooker's most important ideas on virtually every subject of interest to Christian people, arranged in a topical manner--from A (for "Absolution") to Z for ("Zeal"). The reader can easily access Hooker's wisdom on any topic without having to read through the many volumes of his theological writings. Now, at last, the timeless wisdom of this great sixteenth-century founder of the Anglican religious tradition is easily accessible to the modern reader for devotional study on any subject of interest and to ministers desiring to cite Hooker in their sermons.
