Reviews

[ ] it is good to welcome this clearly written and thorough account and appraisal of Hooker s work [ ]. This is a book I would commend warmly to all interested in Hooker s legacy and its potential use in current ecumenical debate and relationships. --David Carter Churches Together in England 'Charles Miller presents what is essentially a more systematic and concise exposition of Hooker's Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity than the author himself ever managed. [ - ] [Hooker's] own thought, substantial yet undogmatic, should be better known by Anglican clergy and ordinands. His teaching on the need to deploy reason in exposition of Scripture remains especially pertinent. Because Hooker wrote in paragraphs, not sentences, Miller's guide, although descriptive, could spread understanding of his work effectively.' David Grumett, Times Literary Supplement, 25th October 2013 '[A] splendid monograph on the theology of Richard Hooker and its relevance to the origins of Anglicanism [ - ] This book is a veritable feast for the theologically hungry.' Torrance Kirby, International Journal for the Study of the Christian Church, Vol.13, No.4, 6th January 2014.
