| Summary: | Joyce sets out to answer the question of whether Hooker was the founding father of Anglican moral theology. Hooker’s great Polity, as Joyce points out, was not written as a work of moral theology, but to counter the Puritan critics of his day. Too often, Joyce warns us, Hooker has been plundered to provide motifs and quotations to support other polemicists, ranging from Anglican Congregationalists to proponents of the ordination of women. Instead, Joyce stresses, Hooker’s works need to be explored on their own terms and within their own historical setting. Within these parameters Joyce sets out to examine the moral dimension of Hooker’s writings., This is far from straightforward since Hooker has often been misquoted, or misunderstood. |
