| Summary: | Recent monographs on Richard Hooker have fallen into two categories. On the one hand, a series of detailed studies of Hooker as a Reformed thinker has argued with increasing insistence for his continuity with the mainstream Calvinism of his day. On the other, more general works, such as Philip Secor's biography, have been less polemical but also rather less rigorous. Whilst not ignoring the first group of studies, they have at the same time commended the more traditional view of Hooker as the founder of the Anglican via media, leaving the tension between the two views unresolved. Nigel Voak's book is therefore a welcome addition to the field. Acknowledging Hooker's Reformed heritage, Voak also shows the extent to which he modifies and, in some areas, undermines it. |
