Over de Auteur

Richard Hooker was born around March 1554 in Exeter, England. Born of a humble family, Hooker was able to attend Oxford University due to his patron, John Jewel. He took holy orders in 1581, becoming a clergyman in the Church of England. In 1585 he was named master of the Temple, a position he held toon meer until 1591. He married in 1588 and eventually moved in with his father-in-law, where he began writing his major work. Hooker's masterpiece, an eight-volume set called Of the Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity, recounts the strife involving the admonition controversy, a doctrine calling for radical reforms in the Church of England. Hooker's work is a reply to the admonition controversy and to the Roman Catholic Church where he defended the current state of the Anglican church. Hooker generally allowed the scripture to speak for itself concerning his views of the church, but he also relied on tradition and common sense. Richard Hooker became vicar of Bishopsbourne in 1595. Some feel that while he drew his salary as the vicar, he actually allowed a lesser clergyman to perform his duties, a practice known as pluralism. He died there on November 2, 1600.

Korte biografie
Richard Hooker (25 March 1554 – 2 November 1600) was an English priest in the Church of England and an influential theologian. He was one of the most important English theologians of the sixteenth century. His defence of the role of redeemed reason informed the theology of the seventeenth-century Caroline Divines and later provided many members of the Church of England with a theological method which combined the claims of revelation, reason and tradition.

Read: The Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity.

The Laws are intended to lay down proper principles of interpreting Scripture in terms of both Christian liberty and sanctified reason, and deepened my understanding of how we are both bound and free in those respects. Hooker explains how the Church is bound by the teaching of the Bible in matters of doctrine and morals, but also free to express herself in matters of worship and polity while refraining from anarchy or libertinism.

As for reason, we've all heard about the so-called "three-legged stool" with equal and opposing legs, but a close reading of Hooker shows that his formula is a catena, a chain composed of Scripture > Reason > Tradition, and that the link in the chain we call reason is not that of Descartes nor of 'common sense' but more accurately echoes credo ut intelligam—reason doesn't function independently in terms of authority, and Scripture alone is normative.

Essential "ad fontes" reading for Anglicans and those Protestants interested in the history of the Church of England, 16th-century magisterial Protestant theology, and the history of authority and interpretation.
